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. It seemed never-ending, certainly over the last ten years. It was now or never in some respects.” The Damned’s 12th studio album, and first in five years, was “pretty much finished” before the 2022 reunion tour of the original quartet, who were the first U.K. punk band to release a single (“New Rose” in October 1976) and to tour the U.S. Darkadelic reflects the band’s continuing musical evolution; its usual gothic-flavored drama is intact, but filled with intricate instrumental dynamics and textures — particularly on “Western Promise,” a song with soundscapes that are accented by trumpets and sonic nods to ’80s new romantic fare.

The Damned also have one up on the Pistols by virtue of the fact that the Damned are still together to put out their 12th studio album, Darkadelic. Of course, the Damned only have two original members at this point, those being frontman Dave Vanian and Captain Sensible, who has played multiple instruments over the years but currently serves as the band’s guitarist. But still, having two original members who are willing to talk to each other still puts you one up on the Sex Pistols. a b c d Punk Icons The Damned Return With Darkadelic, Weigh in On Banning Artists With 'Sh-t Stuff in Their Lives'.

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.

Brannigan, Paul (22 May 2023). "Algy Ward, former bassist with Tank, The Damned and The Saints, dead at 63". Loudersound.com. 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. a b Hodge, Jazz (26 April 2023). "The Damned: Darkadelic – review – Album of the Week 2".

The album opens with ‘The Invisible Man’ which was the first release onto YouTube and other platforms. The whole band are immediately on form and the song has a tremendous groove. The lyrics could easily refer to how the Damned have been ignored in the mainstream. Can’t wait to hear this one live as it has all the components of a great singalong and should get the audience moving.Darkadelic (CD liner notes).

Some good people turned up,” Captain explains. “But, crucially for him, he was the only one that was wearing a cravat.”

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.

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.
