1985 (Phantasmagoria). The album was recorded in November 2017 in New York City and produced by Tony Visconti who is best known for his work with David Bowie. To get the album made, it was largely crowdfunded through PledgeMusic. The album was preceded by the first single, "Standing on the Edge of Tomorrow" in January 2018 along with the singles "Devil in Disguise" and "Look Left" in March 2018 and "Procrastination" in April 2018. On 23 May 2019, The Damned started a tour performing their third studio album, Machine Gun Etiquette (1979), which they hadn't played in full since its release. The tour included such venues as the House of Blues, Punk Rock Bowling and Music Festival, and Rebellion Festival. Departure of Pinch, original line-up reunion and new drummer (2019–present) On 25 October 2019, Pinch announced that he would be departing the band after 20 years. His last gig was The Damned's show at the London Palladium on 27 October 2019. On 21 October 2020, The Damned announced that in 2021 the original line up of Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Brian James and Rat Scabies would play a series of shows. This would mark the first time in over two decades that James and Scabies have played with Vanian and Sensible. Due to COVID concerns, it was later announced that the tour, while still featuring the same line-up, was postponed until 2022. In February 2022, Pinch was replaced by drummer Will Taylor. In February 2023, the band's next studio album was announced with the title Darkadelic, which references their gothic and psychedelic influences. The lead single, "The Invisible Man", was also simultaneously released with its video being produced by Martin Gooch.
