First, I have to get this out of my system, but the first time I heard Dance With The Dead's Driven To Madness I thought, "This sounds like what would happen if Andrew W.K. and Trans-Siberian Orchestra collaborated on a video game soundtrack.
After reading Dance With The Dead's bio I discovered I maybe wasn't too far off? But this duo (a trio when they play with a live drummer) love old horror and sci-fi soundtracks, especially when they mix—wait for it—synthesizers and guitars!
This would be a good place to mention that both John Carpenter and his son Cody do pop up on the opening track of the album, so that should give you an excellent idea of where Dance With Dead's aesthetic is grounded.
Turn down the lights, train a single candle on the disco ball, and just let this one wash over you.
