The Damned: Darkadelic (Transparent Vinyl with Slipmat)

Limited transparent LP gatefold (180g) edition with exclusive Darkadelic slipmat contains 12 tracks including the singles “The Invisible Man,” “Beware of the Clown,” and “You’re Gonna Realise.”

46 years after releasing the groundbreaking debut, Damned Damned Damned, The Damned return with Darkadelic, their twelfth studio album and their first one since 2018’s Top Ten release Evil Spirits. The album catches the band that launched punk and invented goth once again innovating and expanding upon their unique universe. The lead single and video for “The Invisible Man” is a showcase for Captain Sensible’s riffadelic guitarwork and David Vanian’s snarling baritone vocals. Darkadelic barrels along from there and features some of The Damned’s sharpest songwriting and genre-bending performances reaching peaks with future singles “You’re Gonna Realise” and “Beware of the Clown” drenched in classic horror movie references, nods to swinging ’60s London, and a refined palette of musical influences. The Damned will indeed paint the world Darkadelic in 2023.
