Dead Can Dance Biography
by Vladimir Bogdanov
Dead Can Dance combine elements of European folk
music -- particularly music from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance --
with ambient pop and worldbeat flourishes, touching on everything from
Gaelic folk and Gregorian chant to avant-garde pop and darkwave.
Originating in Australia, the group relocated to London in the early
1980s and signed with 4AD, for which they released a string of acclaimed
albums, including the popular 1991 compilation A Passage in Time,
which introduced the project's distinctive medieval art-pop to the
United States before ceasing operations in 1998. They reunited in 2005
for a short tour, and officially re-formed in 2012 and issued their 12th
studio LP, Anastasis, with Dionysus arriving six years later.
