In the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, the Dark Land is a mysterious continent south of Middle-earth. No elves or dwarves live here, but wild men could be there.

The Land of Darkness was a mythical land supposedly enshrouded in perpetual darkness.
The Land of Darkness enjoyed popularity in fictional medieval travel literature such as the Alexander Romance and the Travels of Sir John Mandeville.
After passing through Russia and coming almost to the edge of the world, Alexander finds the darkened country and travels it with his servant Andreas (in the Persian version of the Romance, this servant is identified with Al-Khidr, the hero from the Qur'an).
'Permission To Land' is the debut LP for the rock four-piece from Norfolk, England (and we're talking the big, loud, stadium-rock end of the rock continuum, not the indie-rock end).
When The Darkness make it work, which is very often, they pull it off with the most exuberance and joy that we've heard from a hard rock band in a very long time.
The Darkness are genuinely in thrall to the power of stadium rock in all its bombastic, unreconstructed glory.
