“DooM Dance” is a bass-driven, industrial-rock offering that blends EDM influences and the band’s signature synth-heavy style to create a vivid sonic experience.

Gunship make a name for themselves by linking their music and video releases with popular culture, whether that be film, like the Blade Runner x The Terminator dystopia in the new era’s first release, “Monster In Paradise,” or the gaming world, as with their previous release “Taste Like Venom,” which paid homage to Sega’s classic arcade game Outrun.
In a similar vein, “DooM Dance” is a reference to the now-legendary video game, DooM, and is inspired by the frenetic “dance” gamers perform when vastly outnumbered and battling waves of enemies in the game. Together with their collaborators, Gunship administer a shot of neon adrenaline to rock, metal, electronic, and gaming fans the world over. |
