About Dance with the Dead
Dance with the Dead is a dynamic American music duo, formed in Anaheim by lifelong friends Justin Pointer and Tony Kim in 2013. Their sound, a compelling fusion of metal and electronic music, is steeped in the dark ambiance of synthwave, drawing heavily on horror film inspirations. This duo’s creative process, often beginning with spontaneous jam sessions, has led to a discography that is both an homage to and a reimagining of the cinematic scores of horror maestros like John Carpenter and Hans Zimmer. Their energetic live shows are a testament to their versatility, seamlessly blending synthesizers and electric guitars, often accompanied by tour drummer John Terry. Dance with the Dead’s dedication to their craft is evident in their rigorous touring schedule, with notable tours such as The Shape, Loved to Death, and Driven to Madness, sharing stages with renowned artists across the synthwave and metal spectrums. Not just performers, their involvement in the 2019 documentary « The Rise of the Synths » highlights their significant role in the synthwave genre’s evolution. Their visually striking album and merchandise art, primarily crafted by artists Ruben Martinez and Mark Kosobucki, further encapsulate the duo’s deep-rooted connection to horror and synthwave aesthetics. |
