Dead Can Dance 2012
drone on:
Any DCD fans wondering what happened to the album Brendan and Lisa were supposed to be working on last winter? Their summer tour tickets have already been on sale but there is no info anywhere about a new album. Brendan's website has had no news, and I can't find anything when I do a Google search.
It's looking like the 2012 tour will be similar to the 2005 tour in that there was no new material. Much as I love DCD, I really think a tour should be supporting new material, otherwise it starts feeling like a nostalgia trip to make some quick money, like many 80's bands have been doing. Don't know about Lisa, but judging from Brendan's solo tour last year, which was hands down one of the finest live performances (performance and sound quality) I have seen to date, I'd say the inspiration and ability is as strong as it ever was.
If you have any info. on this planned 2012 release (whether it's happening or not), please let me know. Thanks! :)

Following that link, there's another link to the title: Anastasis. according to Brendan Perry it's Greek for "Rebirth"
I wonder what the greek term is for "cashing in" ::) Little joke there.
It'll be interesting to see what direction the album takes. Maybe we'll see something totally new and different. I did like the way they went out though with Into the Labyrinth and Spiritchaser. Especially with Spirtchaser it had a less gothic feel and more of the tribal and festive side they always would display from time to time.
