The Darkness Release Bombastic

The Darkness have unleashed their theme song to the upcoming Masters of the Universe film. The movie, based on the ’80s animated TV series, will hit theaters on June 5th.

The song, simply titled “Masters of the Universe,” is a throwback retro rocker in the style of Queen’s Flash Gordon theme from decades ago, matching the film’s ’80s bombastic tone. It follows the release of the previous Masters of the Universe single “Eternia” featuring Queen’s Brian May.

The Darkness stated on Facebook, “When He-Man asked whether we could provide some music for his forthcoming biopic Masters of the Universe we dusted off our trusty loin cloths, assembled in the courtyard of Castle Darkness and bellowed in unison ‘WE HAVE THE POWER.’ Our song ‘Masters of the Universe’ produced by our very own Daniel Hawkins and Daniel Pemberton is out.”
