Makes My Blood Dance Unleash “Z3r02LGHT$p33D!” on Vinyl This Halloween
Brooklyn’s Makes My Blood Dance are taking an unexpected route in 2025. While many new bands chase streaming numbers and viral traction, the self-styled disco metal collective is channeling its energy into ritual, community, and vinyl. On Halloween, the group will release their first full-length album Z3r02LGHT$p33D!, a project designed as both record and ceremony for the fans who have followed their singular vision.
The band’s aesthetic is built on extremes, colliding neon-soaked synths with gothic theatricality and metal riffs that pulse like a late-night rave. That combination has already yielded results. Singles such as “Heavy Metal Armour” have drawn six-figure streams, while “Time and a Place” arrived with a fever-dream video that blurred performance and cinema. Their forthcoming collaboration with Macy Gray on “Lately” further proves their commitment to collapsing genre walls between metal, pop, and soul.
Producers Mikal Blue and Bret Mazur helped shape the sound of Z3r02LGHT$p33D!, balancing polish with raw urgency. Each track is crafted for the stage and the dance floor, straddling chaos and precision without losing the theatrical edge that defines the band. To honor that vision, the Halloween release will be limited to 400 vinyl copies, each packaged with a collage poster, underscoring their devotion to the tactile experience of music.
Makes My Blood Dance’s identity has always been inseparable from performance. In 2025 they shared bills with Powerman 5000, Hed PE, and Texas Hippie Coalition, building momentum before announcing their own Z3r02LGHT$p33D! Fest. Their headline vinyl release show on November 1 in Rochester is expected to extend that ethos, transforming a concert into an immersive gathering that fuses music, spectacle, and community.
By delivering Z3r02LGHT$p33D! on vinyl this Halloween, Makes My Blood Dance affirm their place in a space where contradiction thrives: metal that makes you want to dance, disco that makes you want to scream.
