Dance and Laugh Amongst the Rotten is the fifth studio album by Dutch symphonic black metal band Carach Angren.[4] It was released on 16 June 2017 via Season of Mist.[5] Although the album doesn't follow a linear story as their previous albums did, it is still a concept album. Clemens "Ardek" Wijers describes the album's concept as visitations from multiple ghosts of the dead; including the "Blood Queen" and Charles Francis Coghlan.[6] The full album is focused on a nameless girl who plays with a Ouija board causing her to raise a variety of spirits and ends up getting possessed. The album ends by informing the listener that the box the CD came in is haunted by these same spirits, and that by opening the album, the listener has also released them.[7]
