May 25, 2017, 7 years ago
Former Hades and Non-Fiction guitarist Dan Lorenzo will be on Ozzy's Boneyard on Sirius/XM today (May 25th) at 3 PM, EST. The show will rebroadcast at noon this Saturday (May 27th) and 7 PM Monday (May 29th), all times EST. Lorenzo will discuss what lead to him picking up a guitar, his favourite recording of all-time and his new musical project with Ancient VVisdom's Nathan Opposition.
Lorenzo recently teamed up with Nathan Opposition to form a musical project called Vessel Of Light. The due will enter Spider Studios in Ohio to record their debut in July.
Lorenzo states, "I really haven't played guitar too often over the decade since Blitz (Overkill) and I released The Cursed Room Full Of Sinners CD in 2007. I've had a few bands ask me to join them, but that has never really interested me.
“Back in December, I went to Austin and before I arrived I was Googling 'Stoner rock' or 'Doom bands from Austin' or something like that and I came upon the video for Ancient VVisdom's "The Opposition". I literally watched the video about twenty times over the next couple of days. I have a Jesus tattoo. I met the Pope. I go to church and the lyrics were not what I'm into, but I couldn't deny it was one of the catchiest vocal lines I'd ever heard in my life. Then I listened to their song "Deathlike" multiple times.
“I decided to write about the band in NJ's Steppin' Out magazine) and I mailed Nathan Opposition (Ancient VVisdom's singer) a magazine and I think an old Hades CD. We started communicating by email and then on the phone. I had no intentions of asking him to write with me because my musical career is long over. I'm considerably older than him and I honestly wasn't playing guitar much, but when Nathan asked me if I wanted to write together I couldn't say no."
Nathan Opposition says, "Lorenzo and I became friends due to my inability to not be susceptible to flattery. Turns out he's a really cool guy who writes awesome riffs too. Randomly one day I ask him about the band we are starting in joking fashion. I guess it was the right timing and the right person because we immediately agreed we should actually start a project. Before I knew it he was sending me CDs of riffs and I had lyrics flowing like a faucet."
Lorenzo will handle all guitars and bass on the recordings and Opposition will play drums and sing all vocals. Stay tuned for updates.
