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.
The Darkest Days
Dog Fashion Disco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Black clouds and stigmata appearing again
Imprisoned in cold asylums, handshakes are exchanged
Magnetic rays, electric light, quickly growing dim
These are the darkest days
These are the darkest days of all
And it comes as no surprise, all hope will someday die
As we sink like stones in the [river]
Terrified children chased through deserted streets
By maniacal madmen grinning with cannibal teeth
Turn your ugly head to me, vampire and deity
Bite the neck that feeds you what the heart bleeds
These are the darkest days
These are the darkest days of all
And it comes as no surprise, all hope will someday die
Lost in a slow kiss goodbye, all hope will someday die
As we sink like stones in the river
So long, so far gone, my wild eyed child
It's been so long, and you're so far gone
Someday I'll find you when I die
I see you floating away from me
I see you floating away from me
You remind me of the flowers on your grave
You remind me of the (flowers) on your [grave]
[Malignant feeling you fooled the world again]
[These voices in my head are begging me to let you in]
These are the darkest days of all
And it comes as no surprise, all hope will someday die
Lost in a slow kiss goodbye, all hope will someday die
As we sink like stones in the river
So long, so far gone, my wild eyed child
It's been so long, and you're so far gone
Someday I'll find you when I die
[Someday when I die]
[Someday when I die.]
The lyrics to "The Darkest Days" by Dog Fashion Disco describe a dystopian world where chaos and darkness reign. The first verse paints a picture of desperation, with people resorting to drinking the blood of others just to survive. The mention of "magnetic rays" and "electric light" suggests that technology has failed, leaving people to fend for themselves in a world without power. The chorus repeats the phrase "these are the darkest days," emphasizing the hopelessness of the situation.
The second verse continues with the theme of terror, as children are hunted by crazed adults with "cannibal teeth." The lines "bite the neck that feeds you what the heart bleeds" suggest that the source of the violence may be internal emotions that people are struggling to control. In the bridge, the singer addresses someone they have lost, describing them as "wild-eyed" and implying that they were a victim of the violence that surrounds them.
The final section of the song is haunting, with the repetition of "so long, so far gone" adding to the feeling of loss and despair. The final lines, "someday I'll find you when I die," suggest that the only escape from this world is in death.
Overall, "The Darkest Days" is a harrowing commentary on the potential for violence and chaos in society, and the toll it can take on individuals.

Why is it you can never find the album adultery on YouTube?!?
@angelinataylor2401
Every remake acoustically becomes a haunted melody that bring new meaning to the songs. They were great before but now .... you guys keep outdoing yourselves. I didn’t think the phrase “I see you floating away from me. You remind me of the flowers on your grave.” could be so profound.
@Theolppoman
