Dance Club Massacre

Dance Club Massacre originated in Lansing, Illinois in 2004. They name influences like The Locust, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, An Albatross, Daughters, Converge, Horse the Band, Fantomas, Pig Destroyer and Between the Buried and Me, however they have many unique qualities to them, namely their incorporation of indie rock styles. Also, their lyrical style focuses on such themes as partying, girls, beer and enjoying life in general rather than the morbid or aggressive themes extreme metal bands traditionally employ.
Dance Club Massacre recorded their first demo in early 2005 at Blam Recording in Chicago. The demo had seven tracks and 150 hand pressed copies were made. These demos were sold at shows and through their Myspace page. Shortly after the release of the demo, Matt Hynek took Kurt Latos’ place as keyboardist. In April, 2006 Dance Club Massacre recorded their debut album Feast of the Blood Monsters with the same engineer that recorded their previous demo. It was also self released with real packaging. 1100 copies were made and sold at local indie record stores, shows and on www.interpunk.com. The album has stayed in interpunk.com’s top 50 items ever since it was released.
After being noticed by Black Market Activities, their debut album is being re-issued. It has also been remixed and remastered with new packaging and cover art. They recently released 2008’s «Circle Of Death» album.
