Dance Club Massacre

Dance Club Massacre is an American deathcore band from Chicago, Illinois, formed 2004. The band originated as a simple recording project between founding members Nick Seger and Kurt Latos. After recording three songs described as "Halloween-core" and distributing them to friends, the project became a complete band. The band now consists of Nick Seger (lead vocals), Jon Caruso (drums), James Poston (bass guitar), Mitch Hein (guitar) and Matt Hynek (keyboards).

Background
Dance Club Massacre originated in Lansing, Illinois in 2004. The band recorded their first demo in early 2005 at Blam Recording in Chicago. The demo had seven tracks and 150 hand pressed copies were made. These demos were sold at shows and through their MySpace profile. Shortly after the release of the demo, Matt Hynek took Kurt Latos' place as keyboardist. In April, 2006 Dance Club Massacre recorded their debut album Feast of the Blood Monsters with the same engineer that recorded their previous demo. It was also self released with real packaging. 1100 copies were made and sold at local indie record stores, shows and on www.interpunk.com. The album has stayed in interpunk.com's top 50 items ever since it was released.

After being noticed by Black Market Activities, their debut album is being re-issued. It has also been remixed and remastered with new packaging and cover art. They released their second album Circle of Death in 2008.

Dance Club Massacre gain influences from groups such as The Locust, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, An Albatross, Daughters, Converge, Horse the Band, Fantomas, Pig Destroyer and Between the Buried and Me, and even indie rock musical styles. Their lyrical themes usually focus on subjects such as partying, girls, alcohol and enjoying life in general rather than the morbid or aggressive themes extreme metal bands traditionally employ.
