Listen to The Darkness’ glorious new single, Walking Through Fire

The Darkness have just unleashed a brand-new single, Walking Through Fire.

Ahead of the release of their forthcoming album Dreams On Toast – which is due out on March 28 via Cooking Vinyl – the Lowestoft rock’n’roll heroes reflect on the journey and all they’ve done to make it here on their latest banger.

“The life of an artist is gruelling endeavour, leavened with rare moments of shining success,” explains frontman Justin Hawkins of the meaning behind Walking Through Fire. “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.”
