DEATHDANCE

Hailed as “the spiritual offspring of Nine Inch Nails,” DEATHDANCE is a collaboration between Bijou Noir's Augustus Watkins and KPT. The duo's production has grown into a richly dark, brooding "mixture of electronic and industrial power."

Often writing remotely, but joining in-person for touring, their back catalog consists of three critically acclaimed EP’s. Their 2014 self-titled debut which quickly reached the upper-tier of the iTunes electronic charts and their two-part concept series, Dormir and Réveiller (Sleep and Wake, respectively).

DEATHDANCE has also released a sprawling, hour-long deeply detailed, mysterious and occasionally unsettling opus entitled The Blessing, which first premiered as a part of University of British Columbia CiTR Radio 101.9FM’s “24 Hours of Radio Art” and was previously only allowed to be broadcast by hand-selected radio and streaming outlets.

Combined, the group has performed and collaborated with the likes of Die Antwoord, En Esch, Mona Mur, Blanck Mass, Alan Sparhawk of Low, Lizzo, My Life with The Thrill Kill Kult, Poliça, Order of the Static Temple, Communist Daughter and many more.

DEATHDANCE’s brand-new EP, I Want Revenge is available now.
