DEAD CAN DANCE @ THE TEMPLE BUELL THEATER 8/19/12 DENVER-CO

“Farewell, now, my sister, up ahead there lies your road, and your conscience walks beside you, It’s the best friend you’ll ever know, and the past is now your future, It bears witness to your soul, make sure that the love you offer up, Does not fall on barren soil”

Dead Can Dance are Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard, their music cannot be categorized into any genre, they mix dark ethereal atmospheric goth, neo-classical, Middle Eastern, African, Gregorian, Gaelic folk to create music that is entrancing, ancient, ritualistic and hypnotic that seems to come from an old burial ground. They’ve formed in Australia in the early 80’s and then moved to London and released such classics as “Dead Can Dance” “Into The Labyrinth” and their newest “Anastasis.”
