Docker’s Guild is back! After 6 months on hiatus, the band’s mastermind Douglas R. Docker has decided to carry on and see the project to its conclusion. Here what's new so far.
The Official Website is finally up: www.dockersguild.com. If you sign in to the mailing list each fan will get a previously unreleased high quality demo track from the first album. The store is also finally up so you can purchase all kinds of products to support the project.
The second album is underway. “The Heisenberg Diaries - Book A” will be a collection of 20th century sci-fi movies and TV series soundtracks reworked in the Docker's Guild style. The cool thing is that it's not a disconnected covers filler album. Instead it will be an introduction and a journey of discovery in the past of Dr. Jack Heisenberg, the main character of The Mystic Technocracy.
The cast: so far we have Fiamma Cardani (Shooting Stars) and Roxy Petrucci (Vixen) on drums, Anna Portalupi (Tarja Turunen, Hardline) on bass, Mio Jäger (Frantic Amber) and Roberta Raschellà (Shooting Stars) on guitars, Douglas R. Docker on keyboards and vocals, Amanda Somerville (Avantasia) Elize Ryd (Amaranthe) on vocals. This should probably make it the first all-female metal opera around. More guests to be announced soon.
A crowdfunding effort will be announced soon. The band is working with PledgeMusic to make it happen.
