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.
Silent Film
Dog Fashion Disco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Claws out dig deep and scratch away the skin
You know you own the night so go howl under the full moon
These streets are filled with killers and comic book goons
This is your life
Flashing before your eyes
All the riddles and rhymes
It looks as though the joke is on
Circling spirits, loom above the autopsies
Sinners and saints fail to communicate
Unforgiving eyes, confessions caught on tape
Wish me luck I'm going in never to return
This is your life
Flashing before your eyes
All the riddles and rhymes
Echo in your mind
It looks as though the joke is on you
As your blood runs cold
And the plot Thickens
Inside the mind of a killer
This could all be yours
Blood tests and x-rays are clear
Your results came back terminal
Nothing is saving you now
At your deathbed confessional
Nurses with baby doll eyes
Don't bother to fake a smile
Voices of victims left dead
Echo like hospital halls
As you wipe your tears away
And the credits begin to roll
You will never be the same
Dead silence in your brain
Climactic and so cliche
Like love scenes in the rain
Silent film reel, horror pig squeals, a child's nightmare (help me)
Meeting deadlines making headlines
And if you are a good girl I will set you free
I'm just kidding, none of its true, none of its true
From this lonely padded cell
To the crowded gates of hell
The lyrics of Dog Fashion Disco's song "Silent Film" tell a story of someone coming to terms with their mortality and reflecting on their life. The imagery used throughout the song suggests a struggle between good and evil, life and death, and reality and fantasy. The first verse addresses the listener as a "purr pussycat" with many lives to live, encouraging them to take risks and live their life to the fullest. However, the subsequent lyrics convey a darker tone, with the realization that these risky adventures could lead to danger, even death. The chorus emphasizes that life is fleeting, flashing before our eyes, and full of riddles and rhymes that echo in our minds. The bridge of the song touches on themes of punishment and redemption, with references to autopsies, sinners, saints, and confessions caught on tape. The song ends with a bleak image of someone on their deathbed, hearing the echoes of victims left dead and having a climactic realization that everything they thought they knew was just a part of a "silent film reel."
Overall, the lyrics of "Silent Film" are open to interpretation but seem to suggest that our perceptions of reality and the way we live our lives can be distorted and influenced by outside forces. Themes of mortality, morality, and the struggles between good and evil are all present in the lyrics, and the use of vivid imagery and metaphors creates an eerie and unsettling atmosphere.
