DANCE WITH THE DEAD
Drawing inspiration from the dystopian and chilling worlds of classic cult horror and science fiction films, duo Justin Pointer and Tony Kim embarked on a musical journey that transcends genre boundaries. Hailing from Irvine, California (USA), this dynamic duo has been crafting dark electronic metal-fueled synth anthems for over a decade.
DANCE WITH THE DEAD's debut release on Halloween night 2013 set the stage for a career marked by innovation, retro-futuristic vibes, and a relentless passion for storytelling through music. Their musical evolution took a turn toward the mysterious as they explored orchestral score pieces, infusing their work with a darker mood on their EP Into the Abyss. By 2014, their second full-length album, Near Dark, was released, further solidifying their presence in the metal and synth scene. Hits like "Andromeda" and "Invader" crossed over, leaving an indelible mark on fans worldwide. DANCE WITH THE DEAD later appeared in the documentary ?lm "The Rise of the Synths" appearing alongside various other artists alike and contributing a song to the soundtrack. Filmmaker John Carpenter narrated the ?lm which explored the origins and growth of the modern synth scene.
