It’s been a year since Estonian six-piece Horror Dance Squad released their single “Isn’t It Obvious” and began the next stage in their conquest of the modern metal scene.
The momentum hasn't been lost as the band releases their new single “Party All Life Till Our Souls Go Home”. Which stays true to the band’s core while alluding to bigger and bolder things to come.
HORROR DANCE SQUAD has always aimed to deliver a message of positivity and hope in a genre that often feels shrouded in doom and gloom. However vocalists Karl Mesipuu and Ian Karell never shy away from tackling difficult, personal challenges in their lyrics. “Writing lyrics and making music has always been my therapy, it’s how I deal with the difficult things,” admits Ian. “Metal and punk music are perfect platforms to express the powerful emotions that come with facing the harder side of life. And lately, there have been quite a few challenges in our lives to work through.”
It is these challenges that inspired 'Party All Life Till Our Souls Go Home'. “Despite the uncertainty, fear and pain that can overwhelm us, humanity has never ceased in our eternal search for meaning and comfort in the madness. The story of humanity is the story of search. The search for something bigger than us, the search for the reason we are here,” he adds. This sentiment is echoed in the song’s chorus when the co-vocalists switch from their rougher vocal styles to cry out, as if to the universe itself, “We’re dying to know, just how little do we know / So give us a chance to catch just a glance into the wealth of the unknown.”
