Dead Can Dance originated in Melbourne, Australia in 1981, and since then have released nine studio albums, with a new album on its way in 2012. Australian music historian Ian McFarlane described the band as having an ambient style of world music that “constructed soundscapes of mesmerising grandeur and solemn beauty… with African polyrhythms, Gaelic folk, Gregorian chants, Middle Eastern mantras, and art-rock.” The band is also known for their phenomenal live performances which often include improvised pieces.
