Dead Can Dance’s ‘Anastasis’ turns 14 on 13 August

Dead Can Dance’s eighth studio album ‘Anastasis’ marked the British-Australian duo’s return to recording after a 16-year hiatus since 1996’s ‘Spiritchaser.’ Released on 13 August 2012 via PIAS Recordings—their first album away from longtime label 4AD—the eight-track, 56-minute work was self-written, performed, and produced by Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard. The Greek title meaning ‘resurrection’ reflected the band’s creative rebirth following their 1998 separation and subsequent 2005 reunion tour. ‘Anastasis’ achieved commercial success, reaching number 8 on the UK Albums Chart and number 9 on the US Billboard World Albums chart, earning double gold certification from the Independent Music Companies Association. A world tour supporting the release commenced in Canada in August 2012 and extended through July 2013, encompassing multiple continents.
