Duran Duran's 2023 album Danse Macabre came just two years after the release of Future Past in 2021 - the shortest gap between new LPs from the band since the mid-'90s. The band were certainly riding high: Future Past was a celebration of what made the Birmingham group so beloved 40 years on from their debut, featuring collaborations with Mark Ronson, Blur guitarist Graham Coxon, David Bowie keyboardist Mike Garson, and even electro-producer extraordinaire Giorgio Moroder. After another successful world tour in 2022, fans' hopes were finally answered when the group - singer Simon Le Bon, keyboardist Nick Rhodes, bassist John Taylor, drummer Roger Taylor and former guitarists Andy Taylor and Warren Cuccurullo - were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for their contributions to New Wave and the changing sound of rock at the birth of the MTV generation. Now, ahead of some special, thematic tour dates - including a show on Halloween night at Madison Square Garden in New York City - the group will reissue Danse Macabre on CD and digitally with three new recordings: an original instrumental, "Masque of the Pink Death," that now opens the album; a cover of Electric Light Orchestra's "Evil Woman"; and "New Moon (Dark Phase)," a re-recording of the band's 1984 Top 10 hit "New Moon on Monday" featuring new contributions by Andy Taylor. Additionally, a triple vinyl box set will include four more unreleased tracks along with extras like art prints, a special booklet, tarot cards and even a "spirit board" with metal planchette to encourage a visitation of your own.
