Your friend: So hey there's this cool song I heard a while ago, wanna try it out? You: *Do not cite the deep magic to me, witch. I was there when it was written*
M'aiq found out about Dance with the Dead a few years ago after a naughty movie was using one of their songs in its soundtrack. M'aiq has no shame of this.
At first I hated this song, but then I actually gave it a chance and now it's my absolute favorite song by dance with the dead. But I also like the song mask, and zombie night.
Thanks to Team Trainwreck and the Overlord Excerpt, I am here, and I will be staying because holy hell I didn't know what was missing in my life until I came across this music
Saw them last night in Newark, NJ at QXT..Saw Tony Kim, took a picture with him, they opened up with this song..Looked up to the sky and said "I can now die happy"
Dance With The Dead is my new favorite EDM related artist. Fucking amazing. Everything I've heard has been incredible so far. I can't believe I just found out about this artist. This has been my favorite track I've come across yet.
The eighties was my era for influential music so that probably has something to do with it. But why does a metalhead like me keep coming back to stuff like this? I just can't get enough of it.
@@laverdadbuscador Personally I love melodic metal since it reminds me of early video game music, which was influenced by rock/metal...it all comes full circle eventually
My only criticism is god damn do I wish the blend of the guitar and the melody at 4:30 lasted a little longer at the end, or maybe that overlay concept was played with a little more throughout the track. Really nice stuff though, I love the simple melodic loop that gets added at 1:29 - turned the song from "the beat and bass is amazing" to "this is top shelf" for me.
@@trippe2k I say this as a politically moderate american male with a background in psychology: anger is always fear, and males in particular struggle with that. Being afraid isn't inherently bad, being in denial is.
@@BFCNick That would be uncontrolled anger. If you come up against adversity you can be angry at the wall in front of you. This is a common misconception. Doesnt mean you are afraid of the wall. Fight flight or freeze. Anger can be channeled for growth and action. Does not mean you should be violent, but instead let it empower you to stand up for yourself, and take action rather than letting other's step all over you.
@@seawolf7610 Shit don't know how to link. But type in the song and artists then type in the 80's guy. I believe he put the video up a montage of popular 80's movies.
Guys this track is great! One of your best. The first time I heard it, I immediately imagined a clip: a skeleton DJ in a black hoodie (a familiar image of death) lights up at the DJ console. And people are dancing on the dance floor. All this time, the skeleton itself dances while swinging from side to side to the beat of the music. On the chorus, the skeleton takes off his hood with his hand (but remains in a hoodie), throws his hand up in a rocker goat🤘🏽 and starts dancing even more actively, shaking his head and smiling while continuing to DJ. You can do it in a cartoon version, you can do it somehow. Maybe I already saw it somewhere, but for some reason it was the first visual that appeared in my head when the chorus went😁. Use it, you are awesome!💀💀💀
mmmm no, given they're using stuff used from the show's time period and you can't rate Master Of Puppets any other way better in year late as 2022 to remind people of its greatness than ST did
Just in general, the 6 6 4 5 chord progression is used throughout the song which is already a very "intense" chord progression because it never fully resolves. It gives the impression that tension just continues to rise and rise. During that particular section of the song it's that same chord progression underneath but then it strips away the synths on top and it gets replaced by that chugging guitar playing the melody. The hats and cymbals in the background percussion go away and it just becomes that single kick every beat. Then the real hard snare starts coming in every other beat and that really cool counter melody starts playing on a synth real high. Up until that point the guitar is only playing the chord progression underneath. Otherwise the rest of the song is synthesized. But then you suddenly get this rapidly changing strumming melody played on an electric guitar. Are you a fan of 80's rock/metal? Or just of that style guitar in general? Well, even if you aren't, you know that it takes a decent amount of skill to play a guitar like that, and that it's a human playing it. Just *listening* to someone play a guitar that well is awe inspiring. Then all of the percussion besides the kick goes away and things get relatively really quiet. And it's that combination of this real intense chord progression underneath along with the notion that this organic guitar part is turning it up to the max to keep up and shred along with the rest of the song. And since everything suddenly becomes quiet, the spotlight is on him to keep on keeping on. That same guitar comes in later at 4:29 at the climax of the song. I can't tell YOU why, but to me it's just the sheer intensity. Everything is combining together and practically screaming that the stakes keep getting higher, and its that intensity that starts to choke me up. There's nothing actually happening, but I see a 1 on 1 duel to the death when I hear this song. It's like watching a bullrider wrangle for his life. Or a pilot fight the controls of an out of control airplane. The song feels like a struggle with death and it chokes me up in the same way any of those scenarios would. But the chord progression is also optimistic. That if they try as hard as they can then they'll still succeed. Just like the guitar player. Maybe that's what you feel too.
this could be the fucking best intro song for hotline miami,imagine someone rides on a bike/car with a mask on and this music playing on the background,and than come words "HOTLINE MIAMI 3",that would be fucking awesome
I was trying to find another song with the google music finder thingy but instead, for some reason brought me to Dance With The Dead Is not what i was looking for but not dissapointed
This just gives me a vibe of a 1970's underground German discotheque with neon lights, a couple blondes in the dance floor being noticed by a guy in a big coat who clearly is a spy and drinks in one sip his luminiscent cocktail to approach one of the girls and before she gives him a lap dance she pulls out a gun (because she's a spy too), a couple of flashing lights and fancy pirouettes later they're the only ones standing in the dance floor and realize that they are meant for each other and have a drink together.
This song game be the image of a woman who gains specific combinations of super powers based on what music she's hearing at the time, and she's listening to this song on loop for the final battle with the main villain.
Walking alone at night, feeling threatened by the idea of something nearby? Stick this on, become the threat.

C Major808 dude look your profil pic she is amazing xD
From 3:14, it's all hairs standing up.
Have been listening to this during my workouts, feeling like Jean Claud Van Dam!
I put on their song Banshee. It's almost designed for a workout montage.
It's hard to say how very attuned this is to my tastes. I adore this
The eighties was my era for influential music so that probably has something to do with it. But why does a metalhead like me keep coming back to stuff like this? I just can't get enough of it.
I like metal too, but I bet you like anything that is heavily melodic (metal or not). I bet you secretly like bluegrass too.
@@laverdadbuscador Yes, I would say that statement is pretty accurate.
@@laverdadbuscador Personally I love melodic metal since it reminds me of early video game music, which was influenced by rock/metal...it all comes full circle eventually

This would be perfect for any John Carpenter remake.

Sounds like something from Hotline Miami, this is epic! :D
Would make a great final boss theme. One on one on the rooftops in the rain
can't stop listening to this! feels so unique, i think its my favorite track of theirs
holy shit this is sooo good !
Dance with the Dead is just absolutely amazing!
Yes.
This has a Hotline Miami vibe to it, maybe they'll add it this in the 3rd game?
no third game :(
but Hotline 2 for the level editor
This song makes me wanna push myself to my limits and become stronger.

Best part of the music, and it repeats three times!

The start is amazing!
