Black Label Society will tour North America in spring 2026. Their first tour since 2021, the lineup includes Zakk Sabbath and Dark Chapel, meaning that Zakk Wylde, Dario Lorina, Jeff Fabb, and John DeServio will all be pulling double duty each evening.
The recent Zakk Sabbath and Dark Chapel show in Urbana, Illinois, on 9 November, found both bands in top form, making this tour a mouthwatering prospect.
Dark Chapel are led by Dario Lorina and released their debut album Spirit In The Glass earlier in the year. Striking an elusive balance between dark and heavy, ethereal and passionate, Spirit In The Glass is, as Lorina describes, “This is a culmination of all artistic influence, whether musical or otherwise.” Brody DeRozie (guitar), Mike Gunn (bass) and Luis Silva (drums) complete the lineup.
Ahead of the tour with Zakk Sabbath, Dark Chapel released the single Sign Of Life and announced The Laguna EcoMix variant special edition of Spirit In The Glass with two brand-new tracks, Hit Of Your Love and Echoes Of A Stone Heart II.
“I put my heart and soul into Dark Chapel’s debut Spirit in The Glass,” Dario said, “as did all involved in the making of it. There’s a lot on this album from my roots of guitar-driven heavy rock to intimate piano and acoustic, singer/songwriter style songs. I’m elated for listeners to hear it in full.”
Dark Chapel – The Singles
Corpse Flower
The wild riffing of Corpse Flower blooms through a head-nodding swing, and Dario Lorina’s vocals boom.
“When I was writing the lyrics for Corpse Flower,” Dario says, “I was envisioning an imagery, very similar to the artwork that became the single art, of an ominous field of mostly dead flowers with one living and towering over as almost a beacon of or a portal to the underworld, representing immortality.”
Hollow Smile
On Hollow Smile, a thrash-y palm-muted chug seethes beneath his airy intonation on the verses. It climaxes on a chantable chorus accelerated by a driving rhythm.
“I read a quote recently,” Dario said, “that portrays the meaning behind this song well: ‘A man’s own mind is the greatest battle he will face.”
Glass heart
Dario’s gritty delivery on the song takes hold on a hypnotic hook, bleeding into a fret-burning lead punctuated by dramatic bends.
“Glass Heart is a lyrical and almost cinematic musical story that started with a riff and lyrically stemmed from emotion,” Dario said. “That emotion created an imagery for me that I began writing about as if that feeling was a painting I was writing to describe.”
The Laguna EcoMix variant special edition of Spirit In The Glass is available on striking blue vinyl. The expanded version will also be available digitally on all DSPs and will include Sign Of Life as a third bonus track.
