NEW PROJECT CROWDFUNDING!!!
EVENT HORIZON - THE BRIGHT SHADOW YEARS
Dear friends and fans,
I am very happy to announce the launch of the crowdfunding campaign for my brand new project Event Horizon.
The debut album will contain a collection of the first songs I ever wrote, back in 1983-1984, when I was 15 years old. They are little vignettes of a new artist still trying to find his style, far away from the complexities of Docker's Guild, so you will find some country music, rock, ballads, and even '80s new wave.
All musicians in the band are Docker's Guild veterans: Helly (drums), Alberto Macerata (bass), Toni Urzì (guitars) and Douglas R. Docker (keyboards and vocals).
The campaign begins on April 1 and closes on June 30, 2024. All money received will go to finance the album, without the usual costs or fees of third party platforms. Also, 10% of all funds will go to Save the Children in Gaza.
NB: the exclusives will be shipped at the end of the campaign (July 2024), except for the CD which will be shipped when released (before the end of 2024)

ABOUT DOCKER'S GUILD AND DOUGLAS R. DOCKER
Docker's Guild
a prog metal space opera
Project outline
Docker's Guild is a massive progressive metal space opera which will unfold through 5 “seasons” and 4 “books” for a total of 9 albums. It is masterminded by producer, songwriter, multi instrumentalist and singer Douglas R. Docker.
Concept
You will visit the dark world of Silix IV, where a silicon-based techno-organic alien race attempts to wipe out all life on Earth through organized religion, while Jack Heisenberg, a tormented scientist, makes it his mission to save humanity. His quest will take him across the universe and on a personal journey from which there is no return...
