The Darkness have released their scorching new single ‘Walking Through Fire’, the latest song to be taken from their forthcoming album Dreams On Toast out March 28th via Cooking Vinyl. Listen here. Pre-order the album now HERE.
‘Walking Through Fire’ is an epic Darkness anthem with signature guitar solos, a thunderous rhythm section and high-flying falsetto flourishes which deliver an amusing ode to the band’s love of rock ‘n’ roll and the state of the music industry in 2025.
Regarding the single Justin Hawkins says, “The life of an artist is gruelling endeavour, leavened with rare moments of shining success. We wade through sweet treacle every day, to make things for others to love. For we chosen few, this is akin to climbing a mountain for the glorious view, whilst studiously avoiding looking at the discarded condom that has attached itself to our stylish yet practical hiking footwear. To rephrase in less oblique tones, nothing worthwhile is ever easy, and that is why we, The Darkness, are WALKING THROUGH FIRE… thinking of you.”
The diversity of the record has been displayed in recent singles such as the ‘70s pop genius of ‘The Longest Kiss’, searing hard rock of ‘Rock And Roll Party Cowboy’ and the self-deprecating glam punk rock of ‘I Hate Myself’. There are further sonic delicacies to be revelled in on the forthcoming record, including the ‘60s inspired balladry of ‘Hot On My Tail’, a monologue from actor Stephen Dorff on the romantic closer ‘Weekend In Rome’, and even a country classic with ‘Cold Hearted Woman’.
