Good Day Noir Family,
From the first seconds of Call of the Wendigo, it’s clear that Golem Dance Cult aren’t here to comfort—they’re here to disturb, provoke, and seduce you into their dark carnival.

The track opens like a ritual: distorted echoes, tribal rhythms, and a reverb-drenched vocal that feels like Jim Morrison channeling messages from the underworld.
There’s a theatrical madness to the delivery, like attending a séance where the spirits of gothic rock, post-punk, and industrial grit are being summoned all at once.
The guitars bite with acidic tension, while the synths pulse with futuristic dread. It feels like you’ve stumbled into a dystopian club in the Mad Max universe—neon lights flickering, walls crumbling, and the end of the world dancing just out of reach. The track has a strange duality: the melody carries a retro flavor, nodding to vintage darkwave, while the production screams forward-thinking apocalyptic art rock.
As usual, the band extends their aesthetic beyond the music. The accompanying video is more an art piece than a conventional promo. Grainy overlays, blurred frames, smoky textures—it’s all designed to disorient. The band appears in their signature noir mime masks, unsettling and cryptic, reminiscent of the silent, masked intruders from The Strangers. It’s not just a video—it’s a visual spell cast to pull you further into their world.
With Call of the Wendigo, Golem Dance Cult continue to forge their identity: unorthodox, mysterious, and beautifully bleak. It feels like music for a world teetering on collapse—and that’s exactly why it works.

Ritualistic!
Golem Dance Cult is an “Industrial Heavy Rock Dance/Electro Goth Rock” music project started by two (old) friends Charles Why (Lost A Noise/Nexus/L-DOPA …) and Laur (Sparkling Bombs/Kevin K Band/Vague Scare/Other-ed…) Charles and Laur had actually started their first band together when they were teenagers all those moons ago… They each followed their musical path and now, during this strangest of times, are reunited (Laur is based in France while Charles is in the UK) for a new musical adventure under the moniker “Golem Dance Cult”
