The Darkness Aiming To Make 'An Amazing' Album
. And it seems that the band's choice of locale has been key. "We've been writing it on a remote island just off the coast of Ireland," he explains. "It's been a really inspirational place to work and a real luxury to be able to do that. It's a great place to write songs. There's really nothing to do but rock out and enjoy the scenery and the Atlantic. We have loads of super-strong material." Hawkins' guitar-toting brother Dan reveals that it wasn't the first place they tried, but is glad they ended up there. "We just thought it was about time we f***ing made an amazing album," he offers. "We wanted to be inspired and write it in an inspirational place. Our first attempt was in Ibiza, but unfortunately we just sat around in shorts and drank non-alcoholic beer by the pool and ended up writing calypso tunes. So Ireland is the complete opposite." Recording is due to begin in August or September. "We've put a lot of work into the pre-production on this one," adds Dan. "There's an album pretty much already recorded, but in demo form." more on this story Classic Rock Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
