Dance With The Dead and Magic Sword — two of synthwave’s most formidable live acts — share the stage at Albany’s Rec Room on April 24, 2026, for a dual-headliner night of neon-drenched, speaker-rattling darksynth.
Dance With The Dead have carved out their own lane within the synthwave world by leaning hard into metal-influenced intensity. Their sound is cinematic and relentless — imagine a John Carpenter score fed through a Marshall stack.
Magic Sword matches that energy from a different angle. The anonymous, masked trio builds their performances around mythology, visual storytelling, and massive synth compositions.
Together, this double bill represents synthwave at its most aggressive and theatrical. The Rec Room’s dark, compact layout is tailor-made for a night like this. Expect fog, strobes, and volume. April 24 is going to hit different.
