Joy Division was a post-punkband formed in 1976 in Salford, Greater Manchester. The band dissolved in May 1980 after the suicide of its lead singer, Ian Curtis. The remaining members reformed as New Orderand they have gone on to achieve much critical and commercial success. With their dark, cavernous sound and their use of synthesizers and electronics, Joy Division are considered the pioneering band of the post-punk movement of the late 1970s and the early 1980s. Though they found only modest success during their career, and released only two studio albums, Joy Division have since been acclaimed as one of the most inventive, evocative and influential groups of their era; Thom Jurek writes "They left just a small bit of music and an echo that still rings".

Day Of The Lords Lyrics
Joy Division
This is the room, the start of it all,
No portrait so fine, only sheets on the wall,
Ive seen the nights, filled with bloodsport and pain,
And the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained.
Where will it end? where will it end?
Where will it end? where will it end?
These are your friends from childhood, through youth,
Who goaded you on, demanded more proof,
Withdrawal pain is hard, it can do you right in,
So distorted and thin, distorted and thin.
Where will it end? where will it end?
Where will it end? where will it end?
This is the car at the edge of the road,
Theres nothing disturbed, all the windows are closed,
I guess you were right, when we talked in the heat,
Theres no room for the weak, no room for the weak,
Where will it end? where will it end?
Where will it end? where will it end?
This is the room, the start of it all,
Through childhood, thorugh youth, I remember it all,
Oh, Ive seen the nights filled with bloodsport and pain.
And the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained.
Where will it end? where will it end?
Where will it end? where will it end?
