\u201cDelivers some delightful surprises. Combines effervescent electronics with menacing metal guitars, all underscored with exuberant vocals. A perfect start”<\/em><\/strong>
SONIC SEDUCER<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cHard-hitting riffs kiss catchy melodies and harmonise perfectly with the memorable voice of frontman EV0. A diverse album that radiates good vibes\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
ORKUS<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cHighlights are \u2018Time And A Place\u2019 and \u2018Impossible Odds\u2019, the guitar-laden, bellowing vocal theme edging toward 1980s stadium rock, but pretty convincing stuff. \u2018Your Little Hand In Mine\u2019 is understated and confident, whiile \u2018Invisible Friend\u2019 is massive and glorious, with more than a little Nirvana spirit\u201d<\/em><\/strong>

The New York-based group Makes My Blood Dance <\/strong>(MMBD) are an exciting hybrid of electro-goth and disco-metal. The last two years have seen them issue a series of singles accompanied by cinematic videos and promote them with frequent live performances, most recently on a nationwide US tour with Powerman 5000 and 12 Stones that ended in late May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MMBD have released their long-awaited debut album, \u2018#Z3R0 2 LGHT $P33D!\u2019, today (5th June) via Metropolis Records. Initially available on CD and digitally, a vinyl format will follow in August. It includes the group\u2019s current single, an industrial funk makeover of Macy Gray\u2019s \u2018Lately\u2019 that features the distinctive soul singer herself, plus four others that preceded it: \u2018Heavy Metal Armour\u2019\u00a0VIDEO<\/a>, \u2018Time And A Place\u2019\u00a0VIDEO<\/a>, \u2018Your Little Hand In Mine\u2019\u00a0VIDEO<\/a>\u00a0and \u2018Black Summer\u2019\u00a0VIDEO<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018#Z3R0 2 LGHT $P33D!\u2019 features serrated guitars and dance-floor synths locked in a frenetic embrace, vocals that move from operatic power to breathy seduction, and basslines designed to rattle both club subs and metal venues alike. MMBD\u2019s sonic palette evokes a post-apocalyptic ballroom and is a bold statement of intent from a band that refuses to be predictable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group will play a set of US dates in mid-June with Mickey Avalon to promote the album, followed by headlining dates of their own from late July. Part gothic theatre, part rave cathedral, every MMBD performance feels immersive, every look curated, every light pulse in sync with their energy. As frontman EV0 often says,\u00a0\u201cWe want the show to feel like a ritual – one where you leave changed.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
