Limited edition of 1000 copies on clear vinyl.RIYL: Velvet Underground, Lou Reed, Nick Cave, Patti Smith, Leonard Cohen, Iggy Pop, Radiohead & Tom Waits."If you have never heard the Doctors of Madness, you should.Musically they are the Velvet Underground, New York Dolls with shades of glam, hippie, prog and punk all rolled into one, yet are still totally original.Vastly underrated, they should have been huge.Pure genius" Vic Reeves.The DOM are "the missing link between David Bowie & The Sex Pistols" (The Guardian May 2017).Exploding onto the music scene in 1975 with their theatrical, William Burroughs-inspired Sci-fi nightmare, they were misunderstood by many, but those who knew understood the importance of the band's dangerous, uncompromising approach to lyrics, to music and to performance.Among the many fans of the band were acts as diverse as The Damned, Vic Reeves, Joe Elliott of Def Leppard, Spiritualized, Julian Cope, The Adverts, The Skids and Simple Minds.The Sex Pistols supported them, so did The Jam & Joy Division.They were the first to combine the avant-garde approach of The Velvet Underground with a distinctly European aesthetic.The blue hair, exotic stage-names, the lyrical themes of urban decay, political propaganda, mind control and madness were all taken up by the punk bands who followed in their wake.The DOM were trailblazers, pioneers, adventurerspushing the boundaries of rock music and theatre to see how far it would go before it bust.What happened after them was due, in no small part, to what they achieved in 3 short years.They may not have been Jesus Christ, but they were, arguably, John the Baptist!!! Now, 40 years after they imploded, they are backwith an album seething with lyrical anger and passion.It is the most potent and incisive musical dissection of modern life and contemporary politics released the decade.With tracks titles like "So Many ways To Hurt You", "Sour Hour", "Make It Stop!" and the ground-breaking sonic assault of the title track "Dark Times", Richard "Kid" Strange proves once again that he has his finger firmly on the pulse of our times, just as he had when he founded the band in 1974.Produced by John Leckie (Radiohead, Stone Roses, Pink Floyd), the new album, Dark Times, features contributions from Joe Elliott (Def Leppard), Sarah Jane Morris (Communards), Terry Edwards (PJ Harvey, Nick Cave etc), Steve 'Boltz' Bolton (The Who, Scott Walker) and the young protest singer Lily Bud, alongside the current thrilling and thunderous DOM rhythm section of Susumu Ukei (bass guitar) & Mackii Ukei (drums) of the Japanese extreme glam-metal band Sister Paul, and Dylan O Bates (violin and keyboards).Julian Cope, another rock star who, like Strange, found the confines of music too tight for his ambition, his energy and his imagination, was blown away when he first heard the songs, declaring, "These Dark Times are enormously informing: the RULES OF THE FUTURE are indeed being forged right now".Top producer Martyn Ware (Human League/Heaven 17) said the album "reminds me of Iggy Pop's Kill City album love it." and Biba Kopf (The Wire) declared, "Still listening to new DOM album with immense interest and pleasure".The first single, Make It Stop!, is an impassioned howl against the global drift to right wing extremism and persecution of minorities, and is already a live showstopper for the band.It features the thrilling cross-generational combination of Def Leppard's Joe Elliott and Lily Bud on backing vocals.In the period since the last DOM gig in 1978, Richard has written a memoir, collaborated on a cantata with internationally celebrated composer Gavin Bryars, worked as an actor on films with Tim Burton, Martin Scorsese, Harmony Korine & Jack Nicholson, toured the world in a Russian version of Hamlet with James Nesbitt as his grave-digging co-star, played Glastonbury, sung baritone in the British premiere of Frank Zappa's200 Motels at the Royal Festival Hall, directed a multi-media evening celebrating the life and work of William Burroughs, won Best Art Film Prize at the Portobello Film Festival last year, had his own live talk show, worked with Tom Waits and Marianne Faithfull on the William Burroughs/Robert Wilson stage play The Black Rider, curated events for the Tate Gallery, and sung Walt Disney songs with Jarvis Cocker.1/ So Many Ways To Hurt You 2/ Make It Stop! 3/ Sour Hour 4/ Walk Of Shame 5/ This Kind Of Failure 6/ This Is How To Die 7/ Blood Brother 8/ Dark Times
