Dance or Die is a German electronic band, formed in 1988 by Andreas Goldacker and Gary Wagner in Berlin.
[citation needed] As summarized by Zillo, "in the 1990s [Dance or Die] formed the link between Gothic [rock] and Electro, and were a pioneer at that".
[6] In 2011, after ten years of relative silence, the band released the album Nostradamnation on Out of Line in Europe and as a limited edition on Metropolis Records in North America.
[11] Lorenz continued his work with Agonoize, formed a project named The Sexorcist in 2015, and joined Funker Vogt as vocalist in 2017.
[14] The trio continued the EBM style of Dance or Die under the name Darkness on Demand, which conveniently kept the same "DoD" abbreviation as before.
[17] In September 2023, Darkness on Demand released their third album, Digital Outcast, with a pre-release of an AI generated video for the track "Reactor 4.
[10] Their music combines cold techno sounds with a deep voice (vocalist Gary Wagner even sings as guest on other artist's records, as on "Take Some More" by And One) and cyber-themed lyrics about life in the machine age.
