The Darkness have shared a fourth early single from their upcoming album.
Offering the Lowestoft band's signature soaring guitar riffs and falsetto vocals, Walking Through Fire serves as a tongue-in-cheek ode to the current state of the music industry. Frontman Justin Hawkins explained:
"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 follow-up to 2021's 'Motorheart' will arrive on March 28 via Cooking Vinyl, amid the band's biggest headline UK tour to date, which will feature support from Ash. They also have shows lined up in Limerick and Killarney for the summer, alongside appearances at Download festival and Belfast's CHSq concert series. Tickets are on sale now.
