Easter Is Cancelled

The Darkness

A high-concept rock opera blending 70s glam theatricality with heavy metal grit. It is loud, unashamedly camp, and technically dazzling.

It's a rock opera where the guitar is God and the falsetto is the Holy Spirit.

A bombastic and theatrical celebration of rock music's absurdity and power.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring transition from delicate acoustic fingerpicking to a crushing sludge riff on the opening track
The absurdly high and sustained falsetto note that punctuates the bridge of the title track
The way the guitars weave together in a Queen-esque tapestry during the final movement of We Are the Guitar Men
