Today, doom metallers Patriarchs in Black reveal the new track “What Do They Know? (For The Champions),” the first single from their highly anticipated third album, Visioning, set for international release on July 19th via Metalville Records.
Says guitarist Dan Lorenzo about the song, “I hope everybody loves this song as much as we do. I wrote the music, and Mark Sunshine wrote the lyrics and melody. When I wrote the music, I wrote the verse and the chorus simultaneously, and I knew I needed a third part for the song. So, what I do is I play along with the click track and I just do what comes naturally. The third part of the song was so simplistic, and I wondered why I wrote something that wouldn’t be that interesting. Then I decided to try some harmonies and add those to the notes, and I feel like I came up with something that I’ve never done before – multiple guitar harmonies. Of course, Johnny Kelly is on drums, and on bass guitar is Iron Lou, who is really big in the Maryland doom scene. Lou has been a really big Hades and Non-Fiction fan for many years, and he told me he can now die a happy man after playing on one of my songs. Sunshine did his usual incredible original lyrics and melody line, and I’m so happy with this.”
