Dancing with the Dead

recently heard song on pandora from this album. loved it, the heavy industrial sound. album is pretty decent to listen all the way through. Not a fan of the death metal screaming but like the sound of this album.

A great album by a great band. Love the industrial metal sound and gothy, cynical lyrics. With most albums I own, even ones I love, there's usually at least a few songs I don't like. While I have favorites on this album I can't think of a single song on it that I honestly hate. Very good album.

Not normally my style of music but Peter is a genius and surprised me again

Awesome album. Definitely recommend. A+

A great buy,great Bayreuth,fast shppng.Thank you!!!

I love the band and songs but my cd messed up. I still love Same Old Song though.

Goosebumps! That is what I got after listening to the new album of Pain. The project of mastermind Peter Tägtgren (Hypocrisy) unleashes an album upon the world, which is just of supreme quality. The disc is baptized 'Dancing With The Dead' and works on me like a stroll through a painting of Jeroen Bosch. Each step is another surprise.As you probably know Peter had a stroke a little while ago and was even a couple of moments not with us anymore. This must have had a major impact on him, because on 'Dancing With The Dead' he sounds more inspired than ever. The album opens with a direct hit in the crown jewels with 'Don't Count Me Out'. You can hear Tägtgren tell off everybody who wrote him off after the above-mentioned incident. After that the first single 'Same Old Song' is up. Although this song was not written for this album but as theme for a Swedish TV show (but rejected), this is the first highlight of the album. A catchy guitar riff and a bombastic orchestral sound form the fundament. By adding the unique vocals of Tägtgren and some folk elements the whole becomes very compelling. This could well become a mega hit in the alternative club scene. Through outstanding tracks like 'Nothing', the NIN-like 'The Tables Have Turned' and 'Not Afraid To Die' the title track 'Dancing With The Dead' takes the stage. The very autobiographical track is filled to the brim with emotion. "Too much is never enough!" Tägtgren screams and due to the rugged riffs and the light-footed chamber orchestra the whole atmosphere becomes pretty doomy/ goth rock like. Thus becoming another track that stays with you for days. With 'My Misery' Pain goes of in a different direction rhythm wise and when 'Bye/ Die' sets in, it almost seems to be space rock in the vanes of Monster Magnet that is flung into the room. But with 'A Good Day To Die' Tägtgren makes clear that he is the same guy who is in Hypocrisy. All systems are go and a rock/ death metal hybrid steamrolls out of my stereo system. The job is finished in style by the band with the Prong-esque 'Stay Away' and the (also rejected) soundtrack song 'The Third Wave'. All that is left are goose bumps and hitting the play button again.'Dancing With The Dead' is everything but a mediocre album. All kinds of styles are blended into a harmonic whole, which makes it more than the sum of all different parts. Although the true metal extremists probably will dislike this disc, those amongst you who love Pain and some off road crossover to other genres must run to the record store and check this thing out.Posted by a very loving fan of pain [...]

Was happy to finally have this album. Couldn't find it on iTunes. Another great band that Pandora introduced me to.

Great album. Been in my cars CD player for a long time now. (Yes, my car still has a CD player)The track called Stay Away is brilliant. I play it loud when stuck at traffic lights.Whole album is great!

this is a fantastic synth industrial album quite similar to the sound of rammstein only the lyrics are sung in english. all the songs have that super sing along feel to them.my personal favourites are same old song, the tables have turned, not afraid to die, stay away and dancing with the dead.must have for synth industrial lovers.

This is comical in its own way but quite fun to listen to, I saw them live and had to have it. Its quite a dense sound and quite robotic at times but never boring.

Great enjoyed it

good
