Forming out of the ashes of the legendary Japanese punk band Zouo, Danse Macabre are their equally cult, and spiritual successor, walking a path filled with even more haunting darkness. Somewhat akin to the journey Danzig took as he shifted from the sounds of the Misfits, to the embrace of something more somber and evil with Samhain, Cherry leaves behind his vocal duties in Zouo and sets sail for darker waters. That journey is one which brings the listener to an environment which feels appropriately filled with fog, ill winds, and motorcycle exhaust, just the place for Danse Macabre to remind you of earthly nightmares, and to think about death. All of their earliest material from 1988-1990 is tastefully remastered here for both analog and digital.
