The Darkness: New Album Motorheart And UK Tour Set For November

The Darkness New Album Motorheart And UK Tour Set For November TheatreArtLife

The Darkness have released the brand new song Nobody Can See Me Cry, taken from their forthcoming album Motorheart, which is set for release on 19th November via Cooking Vinyl. The Darkness are a British rock band who have been entertaining audiences with their extravagant musical style and unique lyrics since 2000. The band consists of Justin Hawkins (lead vocals, lead guitar), his brother Dan Hawkins (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), Frankie Poullain (bass, backing vocals) and Rufus Tiger Taylor (drums, backing vocals).

The new album: Motorheart

“Paying homage to a devoted sex robot, Motorheart growls, pounds and stomps with Rufus Taylor’s drums, Frankie Poullain’s bass and Justin & Dan Hawkins’ guitars all turned up to 11, whilst Justin’s trademark vocals soar to ever more earthquaking levels. Motorheart is a record of immeasurable rock and roll extravagance, and yet another masterpiece from England’s favourite rock icons.

Released in a wide variety of formats, including standard and deluxe versions, both digitally and on CD. There’s a heavyweight black vinyl album, limited edition colour LPs and an old-school cassette version. With exclusive bundles and signed editions to boot, it’s the complete aural experience from The Darkness, and a glorious addition to one of the most exciting canons in British rock music!”

The Darkness have released a lyric video to the track Motorheart, and have followed this with a follow up no-frills video to the song Nobody Can See Me Cry.

Nobody Can See Me Cry is a high-octane riffola featuring an eye-watering guitar solo of monstrous proportions, charging verses of utter determination and a high-flying chorus all powered by sheer angst, passion and unfiltered emotion. Regarding the single, Justin Hawkins says:

Nobody Can See Me Cry. It’s devastating. I yearn to be seen. On this I’ll settle for being heard. Listen to this song, it’s brilliant. I should know, I sang it.”

Motorheart is available for pre-order from the Official Store
