Makes My Blood Dance didn’t just enter a new era — they kicked the door off its hinges. The Brooklyn cyber-goth, pop-metal, EDM-kissed hybrid has officially signed to Metropolis Records, a label synonymous with underground royalty and boundary-breaking sound. It’s a major win for a band that has spent the last few years building a world where metal hits the dance floor, fashion meets chaos, and every show feels like the afterparty to the afterparty.
The signing comes via Metropolis’ A&R lead Nina Heckman, who instantly caught the vision: hook-loaded metal intensity, club-ready beats, and a dark-glam aesthetic that feels futuristic and primal at once. Makes My Blood Dance are now joining the same family that helped shape acts like IAMX, The Birthday Massacre, KMFDM, and Aesthetic Perfection — a fitting home for a group that thrives in the space between genres.
Z3R0 2 LGHT $P33D!: The Vinyl Era Begins
Early 2026 brings the band’s full-length album Z3R0 2 LGHT $P33D! — a limited vinyl drop of only 400 copies. Produced by Mikal Blue and Bret Mazur, the record captures everything that’s made MMBD a cult live phenomenon: the arena-sized hooks, the cinematic riffs, the dark-dance pulse, the fashion-driven attitude, and that strange gravitational pull that turns casual listeners into full-on disciples.
Fans already know what’s coming. The album’s singles have been heating up for months, with “Heavy Metal Armour” — 660K+ Spotify streams and a quarter-million YouTube views and “Time and a Place” — released March 1 with a video closing in on 600K views plus a bonus dance remix landing on the vinyl.
MMBD have always blurred the line between club energy and metal adrenaline. Now they’re packaging that energy into a full-vision statement, pressed in neon blood on limited vinyl.
Tour Announcements: 2026 Is About to Get Loud
With Metropolis behind them, Makes My Blood Dance are gearing up for their most ambitious touring year yet — and the itinerary looks like a pilgrimage for fans of dark-dance rock everywhere.
“No Love Without Blood” Headline Tour (Feb–Mar 2026)
The band kicks things off across the Southeast and Midwest, bringing their late-night ritual of heavy riffs, cyber-goth fashion, and euphoric chaos to cities like Orlando, Atlanta, Huntsville, Tampa, and Jacksonville. These shows tend to explode into culture hubs, where dancers, metalheads, goth kids, alt-fashion lovers, and rave kids all collide under the same lights.
Powerman 5000 / 12 Stones / MMBD — National Support Run (Apr–May 2026)
Then comes the big one: a coast-to-coast run alongside rock stalwarts Powerman 5000 and 12 Stones. More than 30 dates, spread from California to Texas to the East Coast and back — with stops at DNA Lounge, Trees, Scout Bar, Black Sheep, The Whisky, Brick By Brick, and more. It’s the kind of high-exposure tour that could turn MMBD from an underground force into a national breakout.

A World of Their Own
What makes MMBD stand out isn’t just the music — it’s the ecosystem. The shows feel like neon temples. The videos feel cinematic. The community feels like a tribe. And the band leans into all of it, blending cyber-goth visuals, pop-metal choruses, EDM-driven drops, and that irresistible sense that you’re part of something building in real time.
As one of Metropolis Records’ newest additions, MMBD are positioned to send shockwaves through 2026’s alternative landscape. Between the vinyl release, the massive touring slate, and an upcoming new video shoot, the movement is only expanding.
The dance floor is getting darker. The riffs are getting sharper. And Makes My Blood Dance are just getting started.
