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.
Dr. Piranha
Dog Fashion Disco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bearing gifts and bleeding from his ass
And from his disinfected mausoleum
He scrubbed his hands
And prepared for surgery
Inside the operating room he screamed
I believe this patient is already dead
As the doctor lit a smoke and shook his head
I've discovered another flaw in god's sick invention
We have built a time machine to travel through other dimensions
The mercitron engaged the patient in
A defenseless war against mortality
Angered by the latest turn of events
The doctor felt he should part company
Upon arrival on the planet mars
While waiting for the mothership to come
Dr. piranha and his faithful disciples
In orbit searched for a baboon's heart
We are what we are
We are what we are
Christ clones are imprisoned
In slave camps on a planet of trolls
As coal mines and tar pits
Are filled with dead astronauts
Malpractice in the cosmos
The garden of stars is filled with vengeful enemies
Assassins and hitmen eagerly await orders
For research subjects to be purchased by the highest bidder
I will be hunted for infinity
Detected with a dna radar
They'll watch my every move
The voices in my head will never cease
Mocking me over and over and over and over again
We are what we are
We are what we are
Christ clones are imprisoned
In slave camps on a planet of trolls
As coal mines and tar pits
Are filled with dead astronauts
The lyrics of Dog Fashion Disco's song Dr. Piranha depict a mad scientist who claims to have discovered another flaw in God's sick invention. The song opens with a somewhat disgusting image of Dr. Piranha rising from a toilet, bearing gifts and bleeding from his ass. He then proceeds to scrub his hands and prepare for surgery. The song has an eerie and other-worldly quality, with references to time travel, defenseless wars against mortality, and space exploration. The lyrics also touch on themes of imprisonment, enslavement, and exploitation, with Christ clones being held in slave camps on a planet of trolls, and coal mines and tar pits filled with dead astronauts.
The song is an elaborate and fantastical tale, loaded with metaphor and allegory. The band employs a range of musical styles, from punk to prog rock, to create an atmospheric and unpredictable soundscape that perfectly matches the oddball lyrics. At its heart, Dr. Piranha is a song about the human condition, about our vulnerability and susceptibility to the whims of the universe. It's a reminder that, no matter how advanced we become, there will always be things that we cannot control or understand.

He rose up from a toilet
A man emerges from the toilet
Bearing gifts and bleeding from his ass
The man is carrying items and bleeding from his anus
And from his disinfected mausoleum, He scrubbed his hands
The man cleaned his hands in a sterile place
And prepared for surgery
He readied himself for an operation
Inside the operating room he screamed, I believe this patient is already dead
The surgeon announces that the patient has already passed away
The nurse's laughter echoed through the halls, As the doctor lit a smoke and shook his head
The nurse laughs as the doctor smokes and shakes his head over the situation
I've discovered another flaw in god's sick invention
The doctor realizes another issue with the creation of humanity
We have built a time machine to travel through other dimensions
Humans have developed a way to travel through alternate realities
The mercitron engaged the patient in A defenseless war against mortality
The machine tried to save the patient but was unsuccessful
Angered by the latest turn of events, The doctor felt he should part company
The doctor is frustrated and decides to leave the situation
Upon arrival on the planet mars, While waiting for the mothership to come
The doctor and his followers arrive on Mars and await transportation
Dr. piranha and his faithful disciples In orbit searched for a baboon's heart
The group searches for a baboon's heart while in space
We are what we are
Accepting oneself for who they are
Christ clones are imprisoned In slave camps on a planet of trolls
Jesus-like figures are being held captive on a planet filled with cruel beings
As coal mines and tar pits Are filled with dead astronauts
The resources of space are being harvested, leading to the deaths of astronauts
Malpractice in the cosmos The garden of stars is filled with vengeful enemies
Problems occur in the universe, and there are enemies waiting for revenge
Assassins and hitmen eagerly await orders For research subjects to be purchased by the highest bidder
Hired killers look forward to receiving orders to capture subjects for research purposes
I will be hunted for infinity Detected with a dna radar
The doctor realizes he will always be pursued and can be detected through his DNA
They'll watch my every move The voices in my head will never cease Mocking me over and over and over and over again
The doctor is haunted by paranoid thoughts and voices in his head

This is one of my favorite songs of all time, and I cant put into words how fucking mind blowing good the chorus is in the remastered... 1:28 I get goosebumps everytime.
Also... "I'VE DISCOVERED ANOTHER FLAW, IN GOD'S SICK INVENTION." I love it

This band is seriously beyond under rated. Never known a band more deserving of being more well known than dog fashion disco.
