In winter 2011, *Dead Can Dance* came together once again to record a new album and completed a world tour promoting its release in 2012.

With their unique blend of genres including neoclassical dark wave, ethereal wave, post-punk, and world music influences, Dead Can Dance has captivated audiences worldwide. Their hauntingly beautiful soundscapes have earned them a dedicated fan base.

Dead Can Dance return with a new album. The album consists of two acts across seven movements that represent the different facets of the Dionysus myth and his cult and takes the musical form of an oratorio, which has informed both spiritual and secular pieces of music as far back in history as the early 16th century. Two years in the making, Perry has amassed an array of folk instrumentation and as often heard on previous albums takes inspiration from across the world, tracks evolve less like songs more akin to fragments of the cohesive whole.&nbsp;
