DEAD CAN DANCE

Release Year: 2016
Artist Origin: AUS
Style: mesmerizing ethereal mystical neofolk/darkwave

sixth studio album [1993] by sound magicians was marked by a strong shift from previous material, putting ethnic music influences at the forefront - it was their first effort completed without the aid of guest musicians, writing music independently: Brandon Perry was working on this album while living on an island in Eire, at the same time Lisa Gerrard was spending her time in Australian mountains, thus giving birth to a dual creature balancing between natural and ethereal, borrowing certain archetypes from Greek mythology to back up these mesmerizing compositions, firmly entering the world music golden hall as well as turning a great commercial success on both sides of the Atlantic; recent European super jewel box re-issue comes with a remastered sound and alternative "mandala" cover artwork
