The third Docker's Guild album, The Mystic Technocracy - Season 2: The Age Of Entropy, is out now. Find it on digital platforms here. Order the CD on Bandcamp.
Docker's Guild have released "Lucy", the third single from the new album. "Lucy" is episode 2.5 of the saga, and is part of the larger suite called "Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle". It is the mirror song of "Die Today". If "Die Today" was fast, aggressive and angry, Lucy is just the opposite, dark, brooding, introspective and full of loss, sorrow and pain. It tells the story of the breakdown of Jack and Lucy's relationship from Jack's point of view.
The overall narrative arc of Docker's Guild's space opera is quite complex and has been worked out down to the smallest detail. Album after album, you'll visit the dark world of The Mystic Technocracy, where a silicon-based techno-organic alien race attempts to wipe out all life on Earth through organized religion, while a tormented scientist makes his life's mission to save. humanity. The search for him will take him through the universe and on a personal journey from which there is no return.
You will meet many characters such as Dr. Jack Heisenberg, Tith, ZZ-999, Cardinal Berengar Yersinia, Lucy Higgs, Adam V, Camilla, Cassilda and many more. You will visit the alien worlds of Silix IV and Carbonia in the Andromeda Galaxy and travel back in time to the age of the dinosaurs to witness their extinction.
