With the first anniversary of the album 'Danse Macabre' approaching, Duran Duran announced a revamped version of the original, set for digital release on October 11 and CD on October 25, via Tape Modern/BMG.

'Danse Macabre' - De Luxe features three new bonus tracks, including an instrumental “Masque of the Pink Death,” a cover of ELO's “Evil Woman” and "New Moon (Dark Phase),” featuring original guitarist Andy Taylor back again to contribute.

“New Moon (Dark Phase)” is a reimagined version of the band's '80s hit song “New Moon On Monday” from their album Seven and The Ragged Tiger.

Listen to “New Moon (Dark Phase)” HERE.

The original collection includes covers of Billie Eilish’s ‘Bury A Friend’, Talking Heads’ ‘Psycho Killer’ featuring Maneskin bassist Victoria De Angelis, The Rolling Stones’ ‘Paint It Black,’ and The Specials’ ‘Ghost Town,’ plus new versions of Duran Duran classics from their own catalog. Guest artists include producer, guitarist, and composer Nile Rodgers, and another former Duran Duran guitarist, Warren Cuccurullo. Artwork images were adapted from a collection of authentic vintage séance photos that keyboardist Nick Rhodes sourced at auction.

A 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 DANSE MACABRE – DE LUXE BOX SET will be available globally at DTC on October 25, and available in select US retailers on November 29.

Speaking about DANSE MACABRE - DE LUXE, keyboardist Nick Rhodes reveals, “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 favorites, 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."

On October 31, Duran Duran and fans are set to celebrate All Hallows’ Eve at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Now a highly anticipated annual tradition, The Danse Macabre Halloween Party was originally conceptualized at a fabled Halloween Duran Duran gig in 2022 and is now immortalized across 13 songs on their 16th studio album, Danse Macabre.

Duran Duran has also announced a short North American east-coast run, set to take place this fall. For more information and tickets visit: https://duranduran.com/tour/
