The Darkness – have released the new single ‘Walking Through Fire’

The Darkness have released their scorching new single ‘Walking Through Fire’, the latest song to be taken from their forthcoming album Dreams On Toast out March 28th via Cooking Vinyl. 

‘Walking Through Fire’ is an epic Darkness anthem with signature guitar solos, a thunderous rhythm section and high-flying falsetto flourishes which deliver an amusing ode to the band’s love of rock ‘n’ roll and the state of the music industry in 2025.
 
Regarding the single Justin Hawkins says, “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.”
