Dance Club Massacre

Dance Club Massacre is an American experimental grindcore band from Chicago, Illinois. The band originated as a simple recording project between two of the members. After recording three songs described as "Halloween-core" and distrubuting them to friends, the project became a complete band. The band consists of Nick Seger (lead vocals), Jon Caruso (drums), Chris Mrozek (bass guitar), Mitch Hein (guitar) and Matt Hynek (keyboards).

The band plays an experimental mixture of grindcore and various types of extreme metal and hardcore with strong [indie rock]] undertones.

Background
Dance Club Massacre originated in Chicago, Illinois in 2004. They name influences like The Locust, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, An Albatross, Daughters, Converge, Horse the Band, Fantomas, Pig Destroyer and Between the Buried and Me, however they have many unique qualities to them, namely their incorportation of indie rock styles. Also, their lyical styles focus more on partying, girls, beer and enjoying life in general rather then the more depressing and/or disturbing themes grindcore bands typically employ.

Dance Club Massacre 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. 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 catching notice of the BMA label, their debut album is being re-issued. It has also been remixed and remastered with new packaging and cover art.
