Dance Club Massacre
Dance Club Massacre originated in Lansing, 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 incorporation of indie rock styles. Also, their lyrical style focuses on such themes as partying, girls, beer and enjoying life in general rather than the morbid or aggressive themes extreme metal bands traditionally employ.
