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."

For over a decade, Pointer and Kim have been crafting their unique brand of synth-metal, drawing inspiration from cult horror flicks and sci-fi classics. DANCE WITH THE DEAD's sound is a rollercoaster, blending analog synths with face-melting metal riffs and eerie storytelling that's been haunting listeners since their 2013 debut Out of Body.
Dark Matter marks new territory for DANCE WITH THE DEAD, diving into vocal-driven tracks for the first time. The EP is a who's who of collaborations, featuring:
- "Cold as Hell" - with Shaun Phillips (Lebrock)

- "Wolf Pack" - with Gunship
- "I Want Blood" - with Shaun Phillips (Lebrock) and Anton Kabanen (Beast In Black)
- "Whisper's End" - with Kat Von D
- "Rust" - with Cole Rolland
