DOCKER'S GUILD - the solo effort of Douglas R. Docker – has announced he will release season one, entitled Season I: The Age Of Ignorance, of his five season rock opera June 15th via Lion Music.

According to a press release: “The Mystic Technocracy is a new and exciting science-fiction story and music project that has been in development for a number of years. It is the fictional outcome of a very simple observation: for 4000 years man has tortured, murdered, waged warfare and committed genocide in the name of the same God worshiped by Christians, Jews and Muslims, the three monotheistic religions. It is not a story against religion, but it is a story about the madness of man when he falls under the influence of fanatical dogmatic faith. This religious premise has then been plugged into a science-fiction universe, in which religion was created by a silicon-based life form, the Mystic Technocracy, in order to control, manipulate and eventually destroy humanity.”

Docker commented: “If you like TV series and 1930’s serials like Babylon 5, Space 1999, Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers, this is for you. If you like progressive rock bands like YES, ELP AND DREAM THEATER, AOR bands like Asia and JOURNEY as well as DURAN DURAN, DAVID BOWIE, JARRE AND THE ROCKETS, this is also for you. If you have, like me, a healthy dislike of fundamentalism, and blind dogmatic faith, and spend lots of time wondering why so much pain and destruction can be generated by religions whose main goal is supposed to be love and compassion, then this is definitely for you”.

The first season features such guests as, Gregg Bissonette (DAVID LEE ROTH, JOE SATRIANI), Magnus Jacobson (MISS BEHAVIOR), Tony Franklin (BLUE MURDER), Guthrie Govan (ASIA), Jeff Watson (NIGHT RANGER), John Payne (Asia), Göran Edman (ex-YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, KARMAKANIC), Amanda Somerville (AVANTASIA, EPICA), Tony Mills (TNT/ SHY) and many others.
