Dead Can Dance

Dead Can Dance are an Australian neoclassical darkwave band from Melbourne. Currently composed of Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry, the group formed in 1981. They relocated to London the following year. Australian music historian Ian McFarlane described Dead Can Dance's style as "constructed soundscapes of mesmerising grandeur and solemn beauty; African polyrhythms, Gaelic folk, Gregorian chant, Middle Eastern music, mantras, and art rock."Having temporarily disbanded in 1998, they reunited in 2005 for a world tour, and again in 2011 to release and tour the album, Anastasis. They released their most recent album Dionysus in 2018, and toured Europe in 2022.
