DOCKER'S GUILD - New Album Featuring NITA STRAUSS, JOEL HOEKSTRA, ANNEKE VAN GIERSBERGEN, SASCHA PAETH, AMANDA SOMERVILLE And More Released; Preview Available

The third Docker's Guild album, The Mystic Technocracy - Season 2: The Age of Entropy, is out today on all digital platforms. In a few days it will be released in physical format (CD Digipack). Go to the digital platforms here.

The overall narrative arc of Docker's Guild's space opera is quite complex and has been worked out down to the smallest detail. Album after album, you'll visit the dark world of The Mystic Technocracy, where a silicon-based techno-organic alien race attempts to wipe out all life on Earth through organized religion, while a tormented scientist makes his life's mission to save. humanity. The search for him will take him through the universe and on a personal journey from which there is no return.

You will meet many characters such as Dr. Jack Heisenberg, Tith, ZZ-999, Cardinal Berengar Yersinia, Lucy Higgs, Adam V, Camilla, Cassilda and many more. You will visit the alien worlds of Silix IV and Carbonia in the Andromeda Galaxy and travel back in time to the age of the dinosaurs to witness their extinction.
