The Darkness return with new single “Barbarian” off upcoming 4th studio album

I happen to be a big fan of The Darkness but I actually had no idea this new song was dropping or a new album was in the works. Some kind of fan I am! Hmm…after a couple of listens to this new song it is still not what I was thinking would be coming out of The Darkness camp for their return. The essence of what makes the band awesome and unique – the ‘let’s not take ourselves seriously’ vibe is definitely in the song and the riffs are there but the lyrics and subject matter of the song are more along the lines of Iron Maiden or even Manowar. Maybe the band is moving away from the ‘good times and rock n’ roll’ vibe of the last album.

What are your thoughts on the new track? Sound off in the comments section below and tweet me @MusicTrajectory
