Douglas R. Docker previously issued this update: "Docker's Guild is back! After 6 months on hiatus, I have decided to carry on and see the project to its conclusion. Here's what's new so far...
The official website is finally up. Fans that sign in to the mailing list will get a previously unreleased high quality demo track from the first album. The store is also finally up so fans can purchase all kinds of products to support the project.
The second album is underway. The Heisenberg Diaries - Book A will be a collection of 20th century sci-fi movies and TV series soundtracks reworked in the Docker's Guild style. It will not be a disconnected covers filler album. 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.
The cast: so far we have Fiamma Cardani (SHOOTING STARS) and Roxy Petrucci (Vixen) on drums, Anna Portalupi (Tarja, HARDLINE) on bass, Mio Jäger (FRANTIC AMBER) and Roberta Raschellà (Shooting Stars) on guitars, Douglas R. Docker on keyboards and vocals, Amanda Somerville (Avantasia), Elize Ryd (Amaranthe) on vocals. More guests to be announced soon.
A crowdfunding effort will be announced soon. We're working with PledgeMusic to make it happen."
