Darkadelic

Product Information

Vanian: Well, “Western Promise” is basically a catch-all term. It’s kind of that promise that America once offered with “Go West, young man”—they offered you the world, and you would go for it. So the whole song is about you yourself going for it, and being driven forward by love. Because if you really love someone and really care for them, then that makes the whole thing worthwhile. There were several in the running,” says Vanian, “but none impressed me like Will. I also wanted somebody a bit younger. Not because of energy, but attitude. The hardest thing to maintain in any group is that optimism and fire in your belly to do something. And The Damned have always insisted on that, because we’re always pushing boundaries and trying new things, things that might be hard for us to do, but that we do anyway.” Stylish percussionist in place, work duly commenced on the raw materials that would eventually become Darkadelic with producer Thomas ‘Mitch’ Mitchener. Having done such a good job of mixing the Night Of A Thousand Vampires show, Mitchener was a natural choice. In February 2023, the band's next studio album was announced with the title Darkadelic and was released on 28 April 2023. The album was preceded by the singles and music videos for "The Invisible Man" on 3 February 2023, "Beware of the Clown" on 10 March 2023 and "You're Gonna Realise" on 21 April 2023. All three music videos were directed by Martin Gooch. [68] Paste: What phases did you go through at home when the pandemic hit? Did you immediately decide to write an entire new album?

An early contender for Album Of The Year that could be considered the band’s finest yet. Vanian’s ambitions for The Damned, meanwhile, remain firmly rooted in banishing persistent, if misguided, preconceptions.
