	La danse macabre
		La danse macabre, ou danse de la Mort, origine probablement de la France; on considère la danse macabre du cimetière des Innocents de Paris, peinte en 1424, comme le point de départ de cette tradition.
		Mais la Mort entraîne tout le monde dans la danse: de l'ensemble de l'hiérarchie cléricale comme le pape, les cardinaux, évêques, abbés, chanoines, prêtres, en passant par les représentants du monde laïque, les empereurs, rois, ducs, comtes, chevaliers, médecins, marchands, usuriers, voleurs, paysans et jusqu'à l'enfant innocent.
		La principale différence entre les danses macabres espagnoles et celles des autres pays est qu'il n'existe pas de représentations peintes de ces poèmes.

	MACABRE - LoveToKnow Article on MACABRE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The word has gained its significance from its use in French, la danse macabre, for that allegorical representation, in painting, sculpture and tapestry, of the ever-present and universal power of death, known in English as the Dance of Death, and in German as Totentanz.
		The typical form which the allegory takes is that of a series of pictures, sculptured or painted, in which Death appears, either as a dancing skeleton or as a shrunken corpse wrapped in graveclothes to persons representing every age and condition of life, and leads them all in a dance to the grave.
		According to Gaston Paris (Romania, xxiv., 131; 1895) it first occurs in tl~e form macabre in Jean le Fvres Res pit de la mart (5376), Je lis de Macabre la danse, and he takes this accented form to be the true one, and traces it in the name of the first painter of the subject.

	DANSE MACABRE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Danse Macabre, also known as the Totentanz, or Dance of Death, has a lengthy history stretching back to the Middle Ages and beyond.
		Perhaps originally it functioned as a form of magical ritual, designed to attract and draw away the evil spirits of disease and death as the dance passed by.
		The Danse Macabre which the Bones Band performs today is a bit of all of these things -- a ritual to dispel danger, to acknowledge the ultimate domocracy of the grave, as well as to celebrate Life itself by honoring the dead, and affirming the continuity of existence.

		Interesting article of the danse macabre in Paris: The text (of the dance) is solemn and didactic, but the illustrations are farce.
		(4) Admittedly the text says "Le Mort" and not "La mort", so maybe a more correct translation would be: "The dead one makes the living [one] advance".
		As mentioned, the text was reproduced in many versions - and "Le Mort" and "La Mort" are used at random.

		This album is in some ways very different from the previous albums with Marduk, some of the tracks are slow, heavy and instrumental and some are just as brutal and fast as usual, it´s more varying than the previous albums.
		I guess it was about the time for some changes in the music, they have been playing fast and brutal for a very long time now, they can really handle the heavy parts just as good as the brutal parts.
		One of my favourite tracks on this album is the title track "La Grande Danse Macabre", the song is kind of slow, but verry heavy and brutal, I just can´t get enough of it, the guitar riffs are so cool and it´s verry different from the other tracks on this album.
