Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning after 16 years, Dead Can Dance's 'Anastasis' (Greek for 'resurrection') is a majestic and stately comeback. The album focuses heavily on Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences, with Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry's voices soaring over lush, orchestral instrumentation. It is a slow-burning, spiritual journey that seamlessly fits into their legendary discography.
