Dance with the Dead unleashes “Neon Cross” + 2024 Tour Dates
Synth-metal mavericks Dance with the Dead are again turning heads with their latest offering, “Neon Cross.” The duo has just unveiled a stunning new video for the track, which features none other than Brandon Saller of Atreyu. The video gives fans a tantalizing glimpse of their upcoming EP, Dark Matter, which is set to drop on October 25th.
“We’re super excited about our song “Neon Cross,” the band enthuses. “We have been great friends with the Atreyu guys for over twenty years, and have always been blown away by Brandon’s vocals and lyrics. To have Brandon featured on one of our songs is an honor, and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!”
Brandon Saller echoes the sentiment, adding, “I’ve been friends with Dance with the Dead for so long, it seems long overdue that we made something together. I thought the imagery of a neon cross provided a great visual. I took that coupled with the almost punk-threaded energy of this song and ran with it.”
