Dead Can Dance will release their new album Anastasis through [PIAS] Recordings on 13th August. Available on CD, double LP and download, the album is their first since 1996’s Spiritchaser. The band, who embark on a world tour in August, have confirmed a show at the Royal Albert Hall on 26th October.

“I thought ‘Anastasis’ was a good title given our reunion,” explains Brendan Perry, who, with Lisa Gerrard, formed the band in Melbourne, Australia in 1981, releasing seven studio albums, and one live album, before going their own ways after the last album. “’Anastasis’ also means ‘in between two stages’,” he adds. “Regeneration comes with the next season.”
