Darkness fans have, well, been left in the dark for so long regarding the band's highly anticipated sophomore album, but now that the wait is almost over the details are coming in thick and fast.

"One Way Ticket To Hell…And Back" was produced by the most rock n' roll of rock n' roll producers, Roy Thomas Baker. He's the man responsible for finetuning the most definitive artists of our time, including Queen, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones and The Who. "Roy Thomas Baker is a genius, that's all there is to say about it." Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins states, "It's been a privilege to watch that man work, his ear is perfect, his instinct fabulous." Could he be the man that got The Darkness back on track?

On November 29, "One Way Ticket To Hell…And Back" will be unleashed upon the world, but until then, we'll just have to make do with a tracklisting. Maybe if we try to construct a tune out of the song titles…
