Our mission

Are you that special person who - weary from trudging the endless superhighways - just longs to camp next to a glorious oasis of the mind? Do you desire to explore new frontiers, splash in shared ideas, fill your belly with the refreshing fruits of inspiration, and bask in the gentle rays of fond reflection?

Well, you can fuck right off. This, my friends, is not that place. This place is... The ShadowLands.

Ian Curtis

Born on July 15 1956, Ian Curtis was the most miserable sod from the world's most miserable city, Manchester, and lead vocalist in the world's most miserable rock band, Joy Division.

The best known song by Joy Division was Love Will Tear Us Apart which was an ironic response to the ShadowLands' theme song. Ian Curtis was so big on irony that he killed himself in 1980, ensuring he would go down in history as the miserable sod's miserable sod.

He was such a miserable sod that he even failed to make the 27 club.
