Dionysus is also the pair's first concept album, and it concentrates on European rituals dedicated to the Greek god of drunkenness (still practiced). This diptych album consists of two acts which are made up of seven movements. The uniqueness of this eleventh album resides in the concept that underlies it: With Dionysus, the DCD recipe has changed a little: the liturgic invocations give way to ancient traditional strings and percussion, and the pair's vocals are stripped right down to give centre stage to the choirs. The Melbourne duo, who started on 4AD in the dark wave era of Bauhaus and the Cocteau Twins, broke up in 1998 before returning to the studio in 2012 with the well-named Anastasis (the Greek word for "resurrection"). After 6 years off the radar and two breakups, Dead Can Dance called upon Dionysus to send the living into a trance. Buy the album Starting at £6.49ĭancing isn’t just for the dead.
