Patriarchs In Black Cover Led Zeppelin’s “Friends”
There’s a human keg of dynamite that came out of Paramus High School in Bergen County. Hades and Non-Fiction may be the two bands that cemented Dan Lorenzo’s rep but the dude’s a renaissance man of major-league proportions. Last summer, Reach For The Scars by Patriarchs In Black—with Lorenzo’s Iommi/Page/Wylde guitar and ex-Type O Negative/current Quiet Riot drummer Johnny Kelly—melted walls. Now comes “Friends,” a Led Zeppelin cover. Guest vocalist Militia Vox of Judas Priestess spews it on out like hot lava from a volcano. This deep track off Zep’s third album—“one of the most evil-sounding songs I’d ever heard,” says Lorenzo—is perfect for Vox.
“As a singer,” she tells The Jersey Sound, “I love the freedom to work with a variety of different artists I adore to float between styles. Last year I got to work with supergroup Bad Penny and one of my heroes, Rob Halford, for the song `Push Comes To Shove.’ I’ve known Johnny and Dan for years so this is special. My father raised me on Zeppelin so it was long overdue for me to record `Friends’ in such a unique way—serving the original while making it our own.”
