Into the Labyrinth

Released

With 4AD getting a formal distribution deal via Warner Bros in the early 1990s, Dead Can Dance finally released a full new album in the US along with the rest of the world for the first time with 1993’s Into The Labyrinth. Maintaining their particular course even in the ferment of alternative rock’s seeming triumph, the same fusion and exploration of past and present remained Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard’s obsession on their longest album yet. Notable tracks included Perry’s “The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove” and another example of Gerrard’s glossolalia, “Emmeleia.”
