Doctor Dark

Description

The Residents present their brand-new studio album.
After more than two years in the making, The Residents' brand-new studio album tells the story of Maggot and Mark, two young heavy metal fans, and the mysterious Doctor Anastasia Dark, a disgraced visionary who offers those in need THE GIFT.
Moving from blissful electronics to thrash metal as only The Residents can do, and produced with the San Francisco Conservatory of Music alongside several familiar guests and collaborators, “Doctor Dark” is the latest storytelling masterpiece from San Francisco’s strangest beat combo.
“The Buddha said that life is misery. For the terminally ill, dying in pain, life is misery compounded – but what comes next? Is there a heaven, a nirvana, a paradise with 72 virgins for every martyr? No one knows, but what we do know is that nothing makes humans more uncomfortable than death – the ultimate unknown, the other side of zero, the eternal void. But perhaps death is nothing more than a sensation of warmth, after a life of misery that we choose to embrace, suggesting that nothing is as satisfying as one more plunge into a pretty river, flowing endlessly toward eternity. Perhaps it is possible to die happily forever…” – The Residents
