Dead Can Dance – Anastasis
Release Date: August 9, 2012
Label: PIAS Recordings
Website: www.deadcandance.com

Review by: Zander Buel

After twenty years they have become a legend and are famed for their unique melodies and quite a special ability to create dark and melancholic atmosphere. One could say that when it comes to Clan of Xymox darkness is embedded in every single accord.
