The Darkness have released Walking Through The Fire, the latest single from their upcoming eighth studio album Dreams On Toast. A frisky tune with a strident beat, the song finds singer Justin Hawkins pondering the band's place in the world, with lyrics like "We’re only doing this‚ cos it’s fun / Don’t even think my mum bought the last one" and "We never stopped making hit albums / It’s just that no-one buys them any more."
"The life of an artist is gruelling endeavour, leavened with rare moments of shining success," elaborates Hawkins. "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.
