Dirge Factory has been bringing the best in gothic and industrial music to the dance clubs of Raleigh, NC and our experienced Dungeon Monitors have introduced many curious souls to the excitement of the fetish scene since 2005.

Dirge Factory began in February 2005 at the now defunct Underground in downtown Raleigh. The combination fetish party and goth/industrial dance night packed the house on a monthly basis until the final event in January 2007. The Dirge Factory crew then concentrated its efforts on TEMPTATION, a bimonthly event held at Aries Lounge. Aries closed its doors forever in August of 2008. We still mourn its passing into legend.

But like the phoenix from the ashes, the event has been resurrected again, now to haunt a new space in Raleigh, Volume 11 Tavern. Volume 11 is a wonderful club with a large stage, clean bathrooms, great acoustics, huge dance floor area, plenty of parking and a full liquor bar. Fetish, costume, theme or gothic dress is very strongly encouraged and usually gets discounted admission.
