Ghost Unveil Carpenter Brut Remix of "Dance Macabre"

Ghost have shared a new remix of their disco-metal song, "Dance Macabre," by French synthwave artist Carpenter Brut.

"I've been a big fan of Ghost since their beginning," said Carpenter Brut in a statement, "and when I had the opportunity to open for the band in 2016, I was super excited. Last April, I received an email from Tobias [Forge, Ghost mastermind] asking if I would remix 'Dance Macabre,' and of course I accepted. I wanted to bring a funky and disco touch, not just confine myself to the pure synthwave style that would have been expected, but to make this remix a disco rock song and bring out the pop side of the band that is always underlying in their music."

Tobias Forge is a longtime Carpenter Brut fan, having invited them to fill the support spot on Ghost's Fall 2016 tour. Forge always felt that "Dance Macabre" was a song he wanted to do a remix of, and Carpenter Brut was his first choice.Ghost’s original version of “Dance Macabre” comes off their 2018 album, Prequelle.
