LE CHEMIN is episode 2.9 of the saga, a cover by space rock legend The Rockets. It is a sort of unofficial bonus video, as it was already released in the winter of 2020 in its demo version at the beginning of the pandemic, when tensions between France and Italy were pretty high. Now we're back at it with the migrants crisis. Hopefully a message of peace in these troubled times. </p>

I am very proud to be releasing LUCY, the third single and fifth video from the new album "The Mystic Technocracy - Season 2: The Age of Entropy". Lucy is episode 2.5 of the saga, and is part of the larger suite called "Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle". It is the mirror song of DIE TODAY. If Die Today was fast, aggressive and angry, Lucy is just the opposite, dark, brooding, introspective and full of loss, sorrow and pain. It tells the story of the breakdown of Jack and Lucy's relationship from Jack's point of view. Stay tuned for more singles and videos! </p>

Mio Jager played guitar on several songs on the album. However, her role with Docker's Guild is a bit deeper than that. She was instrumental as a cowriter and melodic developper on some of the debut album "Season 1" songs, such as "The Secret of DNA" and "The Gem of Love". She played guitar on several songs on the second album "Book A", and cowrote several sections of the massive suite "Into the Dahr Cages" from the new album "Season 2"!</p>

That said, the Tony Mills Festival was an amazing night, the band played to a packed club inside and outside the premises. It was very moving to see 200 Italians smiling, clapping and singing to Tony Mills' songs that they had never heard before. Here are a few shots of the evening.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/121569/f2894e7386e3fce3c6e7d8823305f1b3dfb9444f/original/dg-tmf-1.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_none" alt="Tony Mills Festival Docker's Guild live" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/121569/45cc3db8183ad7204ba2a33397d21371e11e112c/original/dg-tmf-2.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_none" alt="Tony Mills Festival Docker's Guild live" /></p>Docker's Guildtag:dockersguild.com,2005:Post/58970632019-09-19T00:09:19+02:002021-03-27T10:29:03+01:00Tony Mills loses his battle against cancer<p style="text-align: justify;">Today is a dark day in the world of '80s rock and well beyond. A shining star in the true sense of the word has left us forever, and the world of AOR is suffering a deafening silence. Tony Mills went to a better place today and his suffering is over. One of the best classic rock singers in history has left us and his voice and his music will shine forever in the hearts and ears of rock fans, friends, family and colleagues. His legacy is artistically astonishing. But what made the difference for me is the man. I worked with countless "bigs" in my life. Tony was one of a kind. Humble, elegant, generous, funny, musically extremely focused, supportive, and most of all POSITIVE. I never met someone like him who faced the shadow with such bravery, courage and serenity. Tony obviously made peace with the world a long time ago, and for me he will be a life teacher forever. I know I'll never be like him, but to try to bring some peace and harmony into this world is what he inspired me to do. And I am most certainly not good at it, but I will try.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Black Swan Productions, myself, the entire Docker's Guild lineup, all the organizers, labels, sponsors as well as the other bands unite in sending our deepest condolences to Tony's wife Linda Mills for her loss. Nobody has been braver and more loyal in taking care of him than her. You're a hero Linda.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now, sadly, on to business... as good Freddie famously said, the show must go on, and it will. The Tony Mills Festival will go on as planned, with extra strenth and purpose after this sad day. And we'll make it a party to celebrate Tony's life and music that will echo from here to heaven and south. We will make him proud. Godspeed Tony, now you found the peace you tried so hard to spread down here. I love you my friend, and will miss you forever. ❤️❤️❤️</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The Tony Mills Festival is a celebration of Tony Mills life and music, organized by Black Swan Productions, that will be held on Saturday, September 21, 2019 at the Al Luppolo Saloon in Roletto (TO), Italy, from 3:15 to 11:30PM, in the context of a larger 3-day biker fest. There will be six bands, selected by a team of Italian record labels, playing a selection of their original material and Tony Mills songs from his different projects.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The festival will close with a rare headlining performance by Docker's Guild, who will present a special show made exclusively of material featuring the voice of Tony Mills (Docker’s Guild, Shy, TNT and solo works). As many of you already know, Tony Mills was diagnosed with terminal cancer in April 2019, so a huge fundraising effort is underway to collect as much money as possible for the <a contents="Fondazione Piemontese per la Ricerca sul Cancro" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://fprconlus.it/" target="_blank">Fondazione Piemontese per la Ricerca sul Cancro</a>.

I have no words... other than that we are as close to Tony as possible. Much love from the Docker's Guild camp.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"Cancer. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Not only my birth sign, but now also my fateline. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Recently diagnosed, but far too late. I have suffered since the end of last year, shortly after a car crash before Christmas, which halted my digestive system and left me with internal pain that was difficult to isolate or fully understand. <br>Various hospital visits found nothing from tests until I took myself to a private clinic in Oslo, where the doctor decided I was too unwell for normal scopes and I was scanned the following day. <br>A tumour too old and large to be removable had been growing inside me for a year or so and was the cause of all my problems. It seems to me that the car crash definitely accelerated the growth and/or effects of this entity, otherwise I may still not even be aware of it. So, that's that. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Standing back from this for a moment, to look at my ensuing album release, I am grateful to the people around me that have been involved with my latest album, 'Beyond the Law', that will very obviously be my last written work as an artist. <br>The timing was nothing short of a relief. I am glad it got finished in time. <br>Certainly not least my wife Linda, Pete Newdeck, Harry Hess, Tommy Denander, Toine Vanderlinden, Josh 'Tabbie' Williams, Tony Forsythe and Chris Aldridge on the studio level and Pete Kotevski from Battlegod Productions Jon Løvstad, Alex Cooper, Avalon Music and Ivan Gunn for artistic support, finance and logistics. <br>The record is delayed slightly, until June to help the different territories release simultaneously and assist the record in some success. <br>I was planning a thirty year anthology of solo material next year (1990-2020); <br>I have spoken to some of my colleagues and they may well organise that. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">WIth regard to what will happen in the short term, I don't intend to do a lot; I gave up travelling after touring Spain three years ago, as I found it too tiring and it just felt like it was time to withdraw from such a public existence and get out of the spotlight. I have been a live performer in one fashion or another since 1978 and though many rockers paint the wrinkles and endeavour to recreate their long lost talents, that never interested me; I was always a believer in moving over for the youngsters and giving them their rightful opportunities while they were young and fit enough to do it with the energy that it requires. <br>I have been writing and recording for three years, mainly for other artists, which I have enjoyed a lot and for whatever time I have left, (which I will no doubt be told in no uncertain terms very soon) I intend to carry on that practice and work around the farm with my wife and the animals we love. <br>WIth little more to say for now, I will remain as sociable as possible for as long as I can, until it renders me incapable and then my wife will inform everyone of the eventualities. <br>Thanks for your support during my time as a singer/songwriter; I met and worked with many of my heroes and I lived the dreams from when I was a starstruck teenager, against all odds and the advice of parents and teachers, who were all wrong. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Rock on. </p>

This year I celebrated 50 years of insanity and realized that almost none of the songs that I wrote, arranged and recorded on my different projects or as a special guest on others' albums have ever been performed live. So I decided to celebrate my 50th birthday by playing a couple songs from each project at a special event. The project is appropriately called So5oS and will include about 30 special guests, mostly friends an colleagues that have played with me in the last 43 years of music :) The set will include 5 Docker's Guild songs taken from all albums, including a preview of "Die Today", a new song that will appear on "Season 2" and has never been heard before.

I normally don't share unfinished work, but since "Season 2" will take some time to make, here is a "little" teaser from different demos to give you some idea of what "Season 2" will sound like. Some are very old, some have no vocals or guitar, some are brand new and very polished, some will be sung by other singers, some will have different words, but it should all keep you busy for a while. I hope you enjoy it!</p>

Thank you all so much to all who have contributed!<br><br>This does not mean the campaign is over however, on ther contrary it just means that we have reached the minimum that guarantees all pledges will be honored. After this, the sky's the limit, so anyone who would still like to help us finance the album is more than welcome. To give you an idea, we have now covered about 15% of total album costs, so we have a long way to go!<br><br>If for any reason you can't or don't want to finance the project, even just sharing the campaign pledge page below on your social networks would really help a lot. Thanks :)<br><br>We can only do it with your help. Help us carry on the dream!</span></div>

In December I finished arranging and recording my contribution to the project. I'm very happy and proud about the feedback I got :). Thank you <a data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=749554008405598" href="https://www.facebook.com/VivaldiMetalProject">Vivaldi Metal Project</a> for having me on board!<br><br>"Hi Douglas,</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">First of all... GREAT... EPIC... MAJESTIC!!! Perfectly spectacular! Considering that this is only the demo... when we'll record it with musicians it will be the apotheosis!!!</p>
<div class="text_exposed_show">
<p style="text-align: justify;">What to add... I really love it, great job with vocals and choir as well as it buzzed in my head and exactly how I figured the opening of the opera! Accurate and logical arrangement to create that symphonic and epic metal (but not tawdry) as I wanted... You made me happy and I think you will make happy as well all those that will hear it!!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As for the vocals "building up" you get a 10/10! Concerning the lyrics, the idea and the "quotes" and "literary references" are the best you could have done!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Douglas really awesome work, you made me very happy as I think Alberto... here you showed top-class skills!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I would have wished that Mr. Antonio Vivaldi could listen... Bye for now, gonna listen to it again...</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All the best,</p>

Instead it will be an introduction and a journey of discovery in the past of Dr. Jack Heisenberg, the main character of The Mystic Technocracy. Before the events of Season 1, before the Order of the Swan, before the "God gene", before Lucy, before the dark times...</div>
