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 Sacrifice Of Miss Rose Covington
Dog Fashion Disco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The last rites could be given to you
No one is innocent and no one will be spared
Smile at the beauty of your poisonous possession as you're
Burning alive and hanging from a cross, so high
You look so pretty now
Sacrifice for all humanity
Levitate and reach for me, restless spirit hovering
Smoldering burnt offerings of you
Because no one is innocent and no one will be spared
Smile at the beauty of your poisonous possession as you're
Burning alive and hanging from a cross, so high
You look so pretty now
Sacrifice for all humanity
Smoke and ash, I'm choking on you
The power of christ compels you
Demons be driven
This is the age of the golden dawn and the rising bloody tide
Soulless pitch black witness, the return of the living dead
Oceans of blood all at once boil over to carry the bodies away
Mass confusion into submission, the end of the world is today
Behind the black veil is the pale widow
Casting shadows on the only one she's ever loved
Armies of unholy ghosts march in morbid rhythms
Chanting mantras of the dead under a bloody moon
Behind the black veil is the pale widow
Casting shadows on the only one she's ever loved
Armies of unholy ghosts march in morbid rhythms
Chanting mantras of the dead under a bloody moon
Oceans of blood all at once boil over
To carry the bodies away
Mass confusion into submission
The end of the world is today
Burning alive and hanging from a cross, so high
You look so pretty now
Sacrifice for all humanity
Smoke and ash, I'm choking on you
The power of christ compels you
Demons be driven
The Sacrifice of Miss Rose Covington is a hauntingly beautiful and poignant song whose lyrics delve deep into the themes of sin, sacrifice, redemption, and the apocalypse. The song starts with the idea of washing away sins to make oneself deserving of the last rites. But soon we learn that no one is innocent and no one will be spared. This sense of hopelessness and despair can be felt throughout the song. The beauty of the poisonous possession is something that the singer can't help but smile at as the sacrifice for all humanity is made between smoke and ash.
The haunting imagery continues with the restless spirit of Rose Covington hovering around as burnt offerings. There is nowhere to run or hide from the end of the world, which is today. The rising bloody tide and oceans of boiling blood speak to the chaos and carnage that ensue in the aftermath of the apocalypse. In the end, we see the pale widow casting shadows on the only one she ever loved, while armies of unholy ghosts march in morbid rhythms.

Its killing me - i know the drum intro is from another band, i think Gordian Knot, but i cant place my finger quite on the song it's taken from...
Deadbeats
Th black grass plague. I'm a drummer, it's not exactly the same but very similar. John 5 is the shit. Played for van halen, Manson, now plays with Zombie. And his own projects.
