The Darkness celebrate the 20th anniversary of their gold selling second album ‘One Way Ticket to Hell...and Back’ with a 4CD set of the original album, b-sides, remixes, singles and never before released live at NEC, Birmingham which has been newly mixed by Dan Hawkins. The original album will also be available on hell fire coloured vinyl and single CD formats.

Originally released in November 2005 and came off the back of the bands muti-platinum selling debut ‘Permission To Land’ (2003) that had catapulted the band to stratigraphic levels, simultaneously forcing rock back into the mainstream consciousness.

Having toured relentlessly since the release of their debut, ‘One Way Ticket to Hell...and Back’ was one of the most anticipated albums of 2005. Written by Justin and Dan Hawkins, it was produced by Roy Thomas Baker (Queen, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie) and it was well received - Alternative Press rating it 5/5, Q magazine and The Guardian both gave it 4/5, with the former including it in its Albums Of The Year list. Upon release the album went on to chart well through Europe and beyond and has been certified gold in the UK alone.

Dan Hawkins, "It’s wonderful to let the light shine once again on this album - the jewels in the crown of this release are undoubtedly the live performance from a sold out show at the Birmingham NEC and the original demos that we thought were lost forever! Between those and a revamped and refreshed original album (including vinyl) this is a must have for TD fans everywhere. It’s also great to remember Roy Thomas Baker (RIP) whom we are eternally grateful to have met and worked with in this completely fraught and gloriously bonkers album project! “

Shortly after the release of the album the band had a hiatus concentrating on other musical projects and themselves. In the short period of the bands public life (2003 to 2006, they formed in 2000) they were like nothing else in music, wearing their influence on their sleeve whilst giving it their own stamp! A generation of music fans wouldn’t have heard anything like it - they gave rock music the wake up call it needed! The enduring love for their music shone through when they reunited five years later in 2011 and continue to write and play music together to this day.
