Who would have guessed for a Dead Can Dance reunion?
I still know that I have a vinyl maxi-single with Dead Can Dance in my closet, but I also remember that they weren’t any favorites of mine, but times may have changed. It took them 7 years, but the band’s two core members Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard have now announced yet another reunion including a new album and tour.
The news was announced first by Perry on the forum of his website: “I have been talking with Lisa Gerrard this past week with regard to recording a new DCD album this coming winter. We hope to complete the album by the summer of 2012 and then embark on an extensive two month world tour in late 2012. I will be posting updates from time to time with regard to our progress and remember you heard it here first and yes it is official!”
The 13 gig tour Dead Can Dance did back in 2005 was recorded and sold afterwards through a special website as a 2CD-set. Per show only 500 copies were pressed which made these releases to be extremely rare. Each night the band also did approximately thirty minutes of brand new, never-heard material. It’s unclear whether these tracks are the ones used for the new album.
