  Dance of death
The dances of death are to be found on the outside walls of cloisters, cemeteries, in mortuary chapels, ossuaries and even in churches.
In the Middle-Ages, the dance of death was both a warning for powerful men, a comfort to the poor, and ultimately an invitation to lead a responsible and christian life.
The dance of death was preceded and prepared by a literary genre called Vado Mori (I prepare myself to die) in vogue during the 13th century.

 Danse Macabre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
La Danse Macabre, also called Dance of death, La Danza Macabra, or Totentanz, is a late-medieval allegory on the universality of death: no matter one's station in life, the dance of death united all.
La Danse Macabre consists of the personified death leading a row of dancing figures from all walks of life to the grave—typically with an emperor, king, pope, monk, youngster, beautiful girl, all in skeleton-state.
They were produced under the impact of the Black Death, reminding people of how fragile their lives were and how vain the glories of earthly life were.

The dancing movement of the characters was a somewhat later development, as at first Death and his victims moved at a slow and dignified gait.
As the painter's art developed, the dance of death was in a way made permanent by being painted on the enclosing walls of cemeteries, on charnel-houses, in mortuary chapels, and even in churches.
One of the oldest pictures of the dance of death proper is that in the Cemetière des Innocents at Paris (1425).

It is performed by dance duo the Holy Body Tattoo, with music (and powerful theatrics) from London's cult Brecht and Weill-inspired three-piece band The Tiger Lillies.
Previously a dancer with the brilliant O Vertigo dance company (seen at last year's New Territories festival), she has branched out to become a musician, sound designer and Òcollector of soundsÓ who performs to her own compositions.
It's arguable that all DJs, composers, etc are collectors of sounds, but as Poulin's three solos unfold to a soundscape of what appears to be the clattering of horses' hooves, the clinking of glass Ð it is clear this almost na•ve exploration of the noise around us is what marks her out.

There is a story about an anthropological expedition trying to contact in New Zealand a tribe which allegedly danced a terrible war dance in grotesque death masks.
However, shortly after, when another expedition arrived at this tribe and learned to speak the language properly it was shown that this terrible dance did not exist in itself at all.
They act and react in the same way, overlooking how the spectacle of old hatreds erupting in their primordial cruelty is a dance staged for their eyes, a dance for which the West is thoroughly responsible.

DarkRave is tilted heavily in favour of contemporary industrial acts such as Covenant and VNV Nation -- driving beats, dramatic lyrics and foreboding tones -- with crossover tracks by the likes of Tim Schuldt and Psygone tossed in.
Combining home-answering-machine messages, film dialogue, spacey ambience and downright danceable, twisted beats, then packaging it up with their own bloodstains, Alexander and Becker create an audio equivalent to a B-movie that's so bad it's good.
Live, the Inseminoid indulge their love for the macabre whole hog, using costume and sets to set the tone for their punishing, pulsating rhythms.

 Amazon.com: Books: Stephen King's Danse Macabre   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
But DANSE MACABRE, his book-length essay on horror in pop culture, is like the seed-bed of everything I later came to dislike about King: a rambling conversational style, half Aesthete and half Reg'lar Folks and inauthentic as either; shameless name-dropping and boosterism; and a relentlessly middlebrow worldview powering the vehicle.
I don't quibble with this factual error, or that questionable judgment; my main problem with DANSE MACABRE is that its tone - a blowhard holding court with tiresome anecdotes and self-important pronouncements, and falling in love with the sound of his own voice besides - began insinuating itself into his later work with depressing regularity.
Lazy, jokey and even bad writing fills DANSE MACABRE from stem to stern, King trying to be both hip and square on every page; a completely unsatisfying compromise that reads as awkwardly now as office-workers must've looked in their tie-and-jeans ensembles on the first Casual Fridays.
