Dario Lorina is a guitarist, singer, and producer best known for his 11+ years as part of Black Label Society. In 2006, at just 16 years old, he was hired as the touring guitarist for late Warrant singer Jani Lane. Three years later he would join veteran metal act Lizzy Borden and tour with them for four years. He would go on to join Zakk Wylde’s Black Label Society as a second guitarist, and he would also record two solo instrumental records with Mike Varney for Shrapnel Records. And now, Dario is celebrating a brand new band project called Dark Chapel.
In this interview, Dario talks about his start with Jani Lane, his adventures with Zakk Wylde, his new Dark Chapel project, his voice, touring, and much more. Their new record is called Spirit In The Glass, and it comes out on February 28th.

Hello everyone! My name is Scott Itter, but some know me as Dr. Music. I am a music journalist and photographer out of the Chicagoland area, and I have been in practice for over 20 years. I grew up in the 70’s with two big brothers that showed me all kinds of rock and roll. As I grew older I ventured out into different genres like jazz, funk, folk, and whatever else I could wrap my ears around. As I read every liner note and every Circus and Hit Parader like they were the Old and New Testament, I came to realize that I just love sound and appreciate all the people that create it.
I later became a stay-at-home dad and started honing my writing and photography skills to keep my mind from turning into mashed peas. My kids are now adults, my mind is only slightly mushy, and I am thrilled to have the honor of presenting my work to you!
