Brutal Planet Records are set to release three HADES albums tonight that have never before been released on vinyl. Hades who released the underground classics “Resisting Success” and “If At First You Don’t” Succeed in 1987 and 1988 before disbanding on their 1989 European tour released their “comeback” albums “Saviorself” and “The Downside” in 1999 and 2000 for Metal Blade Records. The two albums are now being released for the first time ever on vinyl along with The Lost Fox Studio Sessions of live in the studio recordings. “The Downside” features guest appearances by Overkill’s DD Verni and SOD/MOD frontman Billy Milano.
“I know most people consider Resisting Success as their favorite Hades album, but for me it’s probably The Downside. I feel like Alan (Tecchio) and Ed Fuhrman were at the top of their game.”, said Hades founding member Dan Lorenzo.
Lorenzo continued, “I’m concentrating on Patriarchs In Black ( his project with former Type O Negative drummer Johnny Kelly and multiple vocalists) now, but I’m always happy when Hades gets any acknowledgement and Brutal Planet did a great job on these vinyl releases.”

Author/journalist Joel Gausten talks with veteran Metal guitarist Dan Lorenzo (Hades/Non-Fiction/The Cursed/Vessel of Light/Cassius King) about Patriarchs in Black, his project with drummer Johnny Kelly (Type O Negative/Quiet Riot/Danzig).
DMC from Run/DMC, Dan Lorenzo from HADES/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 track is called Game Changer. The single is out on all digital platforms.
“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 performance video posted today includes DMC, Dan Lorenzo, JROD, former Hades bassist Jimmy Schulman and on drums JoeCalfa.
The footage was filmed at JROD Productions in Pomona, NY last Saturday July 13th by Mitch Saul. Craig CeFola edited teRIFFic Game Changer.
Songwriter/guitarist Dan Lorenzo said, “When DMC sent me the drumbeat a few months ago I wrote the opening guitar part less than thirty seconds after I heard the beat. Between the new Patriarchs In Black album (Visioning released July 19th on Germany’s MetalVille Records) and writing with DMC I’ve having the time of my life at an age I’d never imagined I’d still be playing. I’ve already written more songs for the next Patriarchs In Black in addition there will be more to come with Darryl and teRIFFic”.
What happens when Rock, Metal, Hip Hop, Gaming, Video and Tech get together??? Something terRIFFic!
DMC from Run/DMC, Dan Lorenzo from HADES/PATRIARCHS IN BLACK, Jon “JROD” Cioricari got together on a song produced by JROD and rapper/producer Bumpy Knuckles to create a terRIFFic song. They came up with an innovative creative way to release the 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. The track is called Game Changer.
“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
