mins ago COBRAKILL : are set to release their incredible second album, ‘Serpents Kiss’,via Frontiers Plans had been in progress to reunite the original band for about fifteen years,” says Vanian. ”It’s taken a long time to put various bits and bobs together to make it happen.

Western Promise for example, echoes the darker love songs that The Damned dip into; it’s a delicious song, with some lovely brass and keyboard work adding to the overall atmosphere. Late in 1987, The Damned began to work on a new studio album for MCA, but the result of these sessions remains unreleased as the record contract was dissolved. Two of the new songs ("Gunning for Love" and "The Loveless and the Damned") were later re-recorded by the Dave Vanian and the Phantom Chords side project.

It also shows that the artists who have been around awhile still have something exciting and vital to offer and can lay down some serious competition for the young guns rather than just resting on the laurels of the past. Recorded in Acton and close to where Sensible spent a drunken night with Sid Vicious that ended up in the cells, there’s a new maturity in DARKADELIC with more gothic tendencies than punk. Musically evoking two Damned albums, 1982’s Strawberries and 1985’s Phantasmagoria, DARKADELIC will please fans. Executed with emphasis on guitar work and technicality as opposed to image, the intricacy of this album conflicts against their earlier expectations and highlights their musicianship all these years later. In June 1989, James and Sensible again rejoined the group for two UK appearances billed as The Final Curtain. In July this line-up performed a farewell tour of the US and in December they performed a further five UK gigs advertised as the We Really Must Be Going Now tour.

Bad Weather Girl’ sounds like the Captain is in charge of vocals, and reminds me a little of ‘Billy Bad Breaks’ meeting ‘Disco Man’. The song rattles along at a fair pace with its lyrics of potential climate doom and catchy chorus.

I can understand that point of view,” Captain says, nodding. “But Brian and Rat always were the anarchic side of the band. I saw my job as a bass player on the first album was to hold them together and stop them going off in different directions.” On 25 October 2019, Pinch announced that he would be departing the band after 20 years. His last gig was The Damned's show at the London Palladium on 27 October 2019. Although officially on hiatus, the band issued two singles in 1990. The first, " Fun Factory", was a song recorded in 1982 by the Sensible/Vanian/Scabies/Gray line-up; intended for single release at the time, the bankruptcy of their record company prevented the issue of the record for 9 years. The year's second single, " Prokofiev", was recorded by Scabies, Vanian and Brian James, and was sold on a 1991 reunion tour of the US. [ citation needed]

Stylish percussionist in place, work duly commenced on the raw materials that would eventually become Darkadelic with producer Thomas ‘Mitch’ Mitchener.

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. Prior to its release, the majority of the album was played during shows by the Damned on their April 2023 tour of the United Kingdom. [14] Darkadelic (CD liner notes).

Sensible rejoined Vanian in 1996 and yet another formation of the Damned appeared. This initially featured bassist Paul Gray, who was later replaced by Patricia Morrison, previously of Bags, The Gun Club and The Sisters of Mercy. [53] Each album reflects change,” says Vanian. “And somehow between the different creative input of Paul, Captain, Monty and myself, Darkadelic has elements of everything we’ve done previously… Which is great, and what we intended.”
