Hell's Waiting Room

The Danse Society - Heaven Is Waiting

Barnsley's goth-tinged post-punks The Danse Society had been around for a few years before Arista licensed their own Society label to give them this, their major label debut album. Ironically it was to be their last, as the band fragmented shortly after a few minor chart indentations with the album's title single and a tabla-tinged cover of 2000 Light Years From Home. 

Probably a bit to much synth to fit under the cold wave moniker, yet there are dark influences here from The Cure to Joy Division. There are elements on this record which were clearly picked up by later bands such as Clan Of Xymox. Come Inside, The Hurt and The Night are by a band who has obviously spent too much time listening to Closer.
