Adultery was released in 2006 through Rotten Records, as their 6th studio album (5th, if you don't include the extremely limited release of Erotic Massage and their live album, The City is Alive Tonight). Baltimore’s Dog Fashion Disco call it “Movie Metal” and have not only outdone themselves, but have created a concept record to fold, spindle, and mutilate all of the aural senses. Adultery delves into the life of an ordinary suburban family man and walks you through his folding to his own dark demons. Lock Quentin Tarantino, Charles Bukowski and Humphrey Bogart in a room with guitars, drums and a few bottles of Absinthe and what you would find closely resembles the genius of Adultery.
Dog Fashion Disco released a statement on their myspace on the 5th Of December 2006, stating that they were calling the end of their run. Their "final" show was played on January 13, 2007, although since then they have "reunited" on multiple occasions for Polkadot Cadaver shows to play some songs.
Todd Smith, Jasan Stepp and John Ensminger of Dog Fashion Disco moved onto their project Polkadot Cadaver, and have released one album and have another one in the works thus far. The style of Polkadot Cadaver is similar to DFD in many ways.
In 2014, DFD decided that being broken up was dumb, and started an Indiegogo campaign to raise money for a new album. The fans ponied up in a big way, and the band raised just over $85,000. With that amount of money being raised, DFD are able to record 2 albums, make a big budget video, and do a small tour of the U.K., for the first time in a long while. The new album, Sweet Nothings, is being released July 22nd, 2014 via Rotten Records.
Their latest album is 'Experiments in Embryos', released July 7th, 2018, through RazorToWrist is available through the Apple music, Spotify, Amazon, and iTunes.
Desert Grave
Dog Fashion Disco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Underneath the burning sun
I'm diggin you a desert grave
You won't be found by anyone
burying the sins of man
In an eternal tomb of sand
Vultures circle in the sky
you fought so hard to get away
From the tight grip of death
You tried so hard to run away
Until your last dying breath
burying the sins of man
In a eternal tomb of sand
Vultures circle in the sky
And you my dear are the reason why
go kiss the daylight goodbye
As the sun lays down to die
And comes to end another day
As night falls on your desert grave
The meaning behind Dog Fashion Disco's song "Desert Grave" is quite clear from the lyrics. The singer is digging a grave in the desert for someone, and they will likely never be found. The overall tone of the song seems to be one of bitterness and resentment, as the person being buried is the "reason why" the vultures are circling overhead. It's clear that the singer is using this grave as a way to bury the sins of man and to take revenge on this person for something they did.
The song starts with the singer saying they're "diggin you a desert grave" and that "you won't be found by anyone". The first verse is about burying the sins of man in an eternal tomb of sand and the vultures circling overhead. The second verse talks about the person fighting hard to get away from death but ultimately failing. The chorus repeats the same lines about burying the sins of man and the vultures circling in the sky.
The song then ends with the singer telling the person to "go kiss the daylight goodbye" as the sun sets and another day ends. This final line serves as a chilling reminder that the person being buried will never see the light of day again.
Overall, "Desert Grave" is a dark and haunting song about revenge and the ultimate price someone pays for their actions.

I'm diggin you a desert grave
I am digging a grave in the desert for you
Underneath the burning sun
The grave will be situated in the hot scorching sun
You won't be found by anyone
Nobody will ever find your grave
burying the sins of man
The grave will be used to bury the sins of human beings
In an eternal tomb of sand
The grave will be a permanent place of rest for the buried individual
Vultures circle in the sky
Birds of prey circle above, waiting for a chance to feed on the remains
And you my dear are the reason why
The buried person caused their own death, making them responsible for their final resting place
you fought so hard to get away
The buried person struggled to avoid death
From the tight grip of death
They were trying to escape the hold of death
You tried so hard to run away
The dead person made a significant effort to avoid death
Until your last dying breath
They tried to survive until the very end
go kiss the daylight goodbye
The person should say goodbye to the living world
As the sun lays down to die
The sun is setting, signifying the end of the day and the disappearance of light
And comes to end another day
Another day has come to its conclusion
As night falls on your desert grave
Night has fallen, and the grave is now shrouded in darkness

I couldn’t find this song on YouTube. Not sure why so I figured out how to upload it. One of my all time favorites! These guys are extremely talented and their music is often dark. Their catalogue is very eclectic and very entertaining. The imagery and feelings they create through their music is amazing!
