The Darkness' new single will be on the album Easter Is Cancelled.
The Darkness has released the new single “Rock And Roll Deserves To Die”, accompanied by a great new music video. It's the first taste of the album Easter Is Cancelled , which comes out on October 4th.
Bassist Frankie Pullain commented on the controversial theme of the track: “Many bands have given up on their duty. It’s pathetic. It deserves to die. Let’s kill the cliché. Break the crucifix. That’s partly the theme of the album.”
According to him, the album examines "the brutality of man against man, the dichotomy in which people live. The songs define human existence through a parable – the slow cycle of death and the eventual and glorious rebirth of rock and roll.".
The result is a “biblical” album; “those who say rock and roll is the devil’s music should listen and understand that it is, in fact, the voice of God. Confronting the eternal, we now need to move towards higher forms. The future is an open door. Who is there?”
