Coming a year after the release of their celebrated album, DANSE MACABRE, the revamped Deluxe version is set for digital release on 11 October, with the CD version confirmed for release on 25 October via Tape Modern under exclusive license to BMG. It features three new bonus tracks: “Evil Woman”, “New Moon (Dark Phase)” featuring Andy Taylor, and a new instrumental titled “Masque of the Pink Death”.

Just in time for Halloween, DANSE MACABRE – DE LUXE also features the original collection of 13 songs, including haunting covers of Billie Eilish’s “Bury A Friend”, Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer” featuring Victoria De Angelis, The Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black” and The Specials’ “Ghost Town”, plus new versions of Duran Duran classics from their own catalogue. Guest artists include producer, guitarist and composer Nile Rodgers, Victoria De Angelis of Måneskin and former Duran Duran band members Andy Taylor and Warren Cuccurullo. Exquisitely packaged, the record features images adapted from a collection of authentic vintage séance photos that band member Nick Rhodes sourced at auction. Pre-order/save DANSE MACABRE – DE LUXE HERE.

The DANSE MACABRE – DE LUXE limited-edition vinyl box set includes 3 LPs comprising the original 13-track 2LP Danse Macabre release and a bonus LP featuring 7 new tracks, four of which are not available in any other format. The Halloween-inspired box includes a spirit board, metal planchette, bespoke tarot cards, 4 art prints and a booklet. The box set will be available on DTC starting 25 October. Pre-order/save DANSE MACABRE – DE LUXE Box Set HERE.

Speaking on the new release, Nick Rhodes says: “When we released our Danse Macabre project last year it was born from a spontaneous decision to pull together a record which celebrated the madness and joy of Halloween. In doing so, we unlocked an unexpected box of curiosity and creativity, which led us to reimagine some of our older songs, record cover versions of some of our favourites, and write several new pieces.

This year, the inspiration was somehow still lingering, and I loved the idea of expanding the collection, because we could… Why not add some of the songs that we considered initially now that we had the luxury of a little more time? This thought resulted in another new song, a cover of the ELO classic, Evil Woman, and a remake of New Moon on Monday.

The Danse Macabre De Luxe vinyl box set also includes several additional tracks which make it even more special. This somehow feels like justice for vinyl collectors!”

Duran Duran have also announced a short North American east-coast run, set to begin on 21 October, bringing the legendary, award-winning four-piece to Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland and New Hampshire. For touring information and tickets please visit duranduran.com.

On 31 October, Duran Duran are set to summon all Halloween enthusiasts to celebrate All Hallows’ Eve in style at the legendary Madison Square Garden in New York City. Now a highly anticipated annual tradition, this year’s show will be captured in a multi-camera shoot for later release. In addition, Xerjoff, the leading brand in Italian luxury perfumery, has partnered with the band to become the official perfumer of DANSE MACABRE at Madison Square Garden.

“Evil Woman” is available worldwide right now.
