When the rollercoaster ride that was The Darkness came to an abrupt and messy end with the departure of Justin Hawkins, the remaining members of the band were staring premature retirement in the face. But when rock 'n' roll courses through your veins surrender is never an option. And so less than an hour after their erstwhile singer jumped ship, plans were already afoot to get the show back on the road.
An entirely tougher, edgier and heavier beast than their former band, the arrival of Stone Gods represents a scintillating new dawn for British rock music.

Fronted by Richie Edwards, whose powerful voice resonates with four decades of classic rock gusto, and with Dan Hawkins assuming lead guitar duties, former Graham Coxon alumnus Toby Macfarlaine on bass guitar and Ed Graham hammering the skins, these road-ravaged pros have spent the last year slaving away over hot guitars, carefully crafting the songs that will comprise their forthcoming and as yet untitled debut album.
To whet our appetite for their debut opus, they release the limited edition EP 'Burn The Witch' in mid-February. A dazzling and diverse mixture of crunching heavy metal anthems, irresistible radio-rock and sumptuous, ballsy ballads; it's a glorious celebration of everything that makes loud, blaring rock 'n' roll so reliably exhilarating.
