What happens when rock, metal, hip hop, gaming, video and tech get together? Something "terRIFFic"!

DMC from Run DMC, Dan Lorenzo from Patriarchs In Black, Jon "JROD" Cioricari got together on a song produced by JROD and rapper/producer Bumpy Knuckles to create a terRIFFic song. The collaboration came together so powerfully something like this needed a unique way to share it with the world.

After brainstorming unsuccessfully for two weeks, the idea for the video came to Cioricari who walked in on his children watching other kids play video games on YouTube.  Cioricari thought, "Why not put music to this if kids are already watching?". Searching YouTube, he found it hadn't been done before. Cioricari brought his vision to Malik at Good Game Lounge in West Nyack, NY and the end result is...."teRIFFic".

"Bump, Dan and JROD created a track that is like an adventure. It's an experience of Rock Riffs and Rhymes" DMC said. He continued. "I wanted to make a statement that rock isn’t dead… people that don’t know a damn thing about rock are the ones who are dead! Fun, good music is alive! I work with some of the best musicians and artists in rock and metal, so it’s my responsibility as The King Of Rock to speak up and do cool musical and artistic things."

The single is out on all digital platforms.

Patriarchs In Black's third album Visioning, will be out July 19th on MetalVille Records. The project utilizes Kelly and Lorenzo on bass and guitar, and then numerous singers and bassists including Karl Agell (COC Blind), Kyle Thomas (Exhorder), John "JD" DeServio (Black Label Society) among others. 

Darryl "DMC" McDaniels (RUN/DMC) has joined former Type O Negative drummer Johnny Kelly and Dan Lorenzo (Hades, Non-Fiction) on the new Patriarchs In Black single, "Welcome To Hell Again".

The song "Welcome To Hell Again" also features Kelly Abe who was on the TV show, Search For The Next Ozzfest Opener. 

Regarding the lyrics DMC said, "I'm basically saying it’s a choice to live in hell! We sometimes create our own hell. Regardless of what’s going on, we can speak life or death and positivity or negativity. The spirit I spit is how I live my life. How I can carry myself. I’m basically telling the devil and evil to bring their best! I can handle whatever they bring at me! I love working with Patriarchs In Black because they’re great musicians and I love the content of their songs. A lot of emotional stuff I can relate to."

Lorenzo returned the favor by co-writing DMC's next solo single and video out soon, "teRIFFic". "It's amazing to me that not only am I writing with DMC, I actually get a shout out in the first verse of his next single. Mind blowing!" said Lorenzo.
