Growing up just south of Boston, Dario absorbed music from every angle at home. His father played drums, mom took piano lessons, and his uncles excelled at guitar and bass. Among his most formative memories, he recalled fishing out tapes out of the glovebox of dad’s car, going on to enthusiastically load the deck with classics by Van Halen and Metallica. By the age of six, Dario commenced guitar lessons in earnest, jamming with pops in the basement on a regular basis as well. “The guitar never really left my hands,” he laughs. Years of woodshedding followed. At 16-years-old, he answered the call to audition for Jani Lane and found himself on the road with the ex-Warrant frontman shortly thereafter.
Following a four-year stint in Lizzy Borden, he notably joined Black Label Society during 2014. Beyond logging thousands of miles on the road in the band, Dario shredded alongside Zakk Wylde on 2021’s Doom Crew Inc. and accompanied the Black Label Society mastermind and six-string legend on the cover of Guitar World. As part of the latter, Wylde succinctly summed up his reason for bringing the rising guitar-slinger aboard, "Because Dario’s awesome.” Along the way, he also unleashed two solo albums, namely Dario Lorina and Death Grip Tribulations. Throughout 2024, he carefully assembled what would become Spirit in the Glass, rounding out the lineup with Brody DeRozie, Mike Gunn, and Luis Silva and writing and recording out of his Las Vegas home studio a.k.a. “Dark Chapel.”
