For those waiting for a taste of the new Skinny Puppy album, the wait is over. The new single, "paragUn," is here, and you're about to check it out on this episode. While Weapon won't be released until May 28th, you can pre-order the limited edition Vinyl version here, and the CD version here.

If the promise of new Skinny Puppy isn't enough to bait your breath, you'll also hear a track from the brand new IAMX album, The Unified Field, on this episode. You can order that one here, and check out the brand new video for the single "I Come With Knives" right here.

Although it's almost a year away, the announcement of a US tour featuring the UK's Pretentious, Moi? is truly exciting news for fans of traditional goth/darkwave music. The tour will begin in March of 2014 at the Age of Decay festival in Florida, then move west towards California. Also on the tour is fellow UK act, The Last Cry, who make their debut on this episode. Their new album, Living in Grey, can be found here.

Fans of dark ambient, soundtracks, and instrumental experimentation have several new reasons to celebrate. Kalpamantra has released yet another free collection of quality dark ambient, in the form of the new Apogee compilation (get it here), from which you'll hear new music from Italy's Phantom Ship on this episode. Meanwhile, Heathen Harvest released the second installment in their Walpurgisnacht series, which you can find for free here. It features a new track from The Floating World, which you will hear towards the end of this show.

Not to be outdone, Bella Morte have released a free instrumental song designed as a theme/soundtrack for vocalist/writer Andy Deane's novel, The Sticks. You can find that free download here, on their Reverbnation page. Not enough free music yet? You'll also hear some music taken from the COP Records 22nd Anniversary Compilation, which was also designed as a free giveaway, featuring hours of EBM, Industrial, and Electro with which you may not yet be familiar. BAM!

In the heavier realm of the show, you'll hear brand new music from Philadelphia's Woe, whose new album Withdrawal just arrived on Candlelight Records. You'll also witness the second new track from Nashville's Alraune, whose just-released 2-track Demo Album Preview has been made available as a taste of things to come.

You'll hear all of that, PLUS:  The overdue debut of the drunken post-punk sounds of Group Hex; more overdue music from France's strangest new industrial export, Chrysalide; several curiosities from the vault; and a farewell to Slayer guitarist/songwriter, Jeff Hanneman, who passed away last week. This episode closes with one of my favorite songs, which Jeff wrote for their 1988 album, South of Heaven. Rest In Peace.

Between this episode and the next, I'll have the distinct pleasure of seeing Peter Murphy perform an all-Bauhaus set in Atlanta. To celebrate that, this show begins with one of my personal favorite Bauhaus songs, "Silent Hedges." With any luck, I'll get to hear it live, as it seems to have popped up in the set at least once already on this tour.

Brand new to the show this time is a live track from one of the most promising of the current crop of Gothic Rock acts, the U.K.'s Terminal Gods. This one was recorded just one month ago, and it was (briefly) made available as a free track. You can currently get the whole concert as a bonus if you pick up their latest shirt.

Sweden's Principe Valiente are back with a new single, entitled "Take Me With You." You'll hear it on this episode, but you can grab one for yourself right here later on. Making his debut on this show is New Zealand's Paul Amlehn, an experimental artist of many disciplines whose forthcoming Blood of Union project features collaborations with a whole list of notables, in addition to featuring cover art by David Lynch himself.

Also making their debut on this episode is California's Crimson Scarlet, with a song from their self-titled 7-inch. They represent another exciting (dark) entry to the new wave of US deathrock, goth, and post-punk. Speaking of which, you'll hear yet another fresh track to the show from New York City's Anåsazi, this time taken from their 2012 demo cassette. Not to be outdone, Italy and the UK teamed up to bring us new music from Horror Vacui's In Darkness, You Will Feel Alright. Viva la Deathrock!

In the final segment of this episode, you'll hear brand new music from Nashville's own Alraune, whose just-released 2-track Demo Album Preview promises to keep those who have been waiting for a fresh spark in the occult/black metal scene talking for quite some time.

You'll hear all of that, PLUS: More new music from Roque Baños' score for the rebooted/remade Evil Dead film, Birthday wishes for both Robert Smith (The Cure) and David J. (Bauhaus), A love affair with '80s synth-based horror scores, baited breath for Room 237's dissection of The Shining, cult musical objects from the vault, and much more.

Sadly, between the last episode and this one, we lost another musician: Christopher David, vocalist/songwriter for Judith, as well as the former bassist for Requiem in White. This episode begins with a small tribute to him, and to his work, in the form of a song from each of those acts. I do not have much information on how he passed, but may he rest in peace.

R.I.P. Christopher David

Brand new to the show for this episode is fresh post-punk from Russia's Twinmachine, whose new album Tomorrow That Never Was can be heard here. While you're in the post-punk mood, you'll also hear further new sounds from Vancouver's Spectres, whose Nothing to Nowhere album was first thrown in the spotlight on the last episode. For even more of the upbeat/aggressive side of new post-punk, you'll get another taste of New York City's Anåsazi, whose infectious sound has not left my speakers in recent weeks.

Also new to the show for this episode: Music from Roque Baños' score for the newly rebooted/remade Evil Dead film. Much has been said in favor of this version of the movie, and I liked it myself, but it was the music that struck me most, so you'll hear two selections from that album on this show.

For accuracy's sake, I must correct an error I made when speaking about Mute Angst Envy on this show. While their 1991 album Archetype/Trust stood as their only work for quite some time, it was not their only release. Many years later, in 2004, the band regrouped and released South 11th Street, which I will be sure to feature on a future episode, so the record can be set straight. Sometimes I speak too quickly on these shows (and sometimes, it's really, really late).

In addition to all of that, you'll also hear: Deeper cuts from the latest Ulterior and Saltillo albums; an early version of one of The Cure's classics; a fond look back at the mid-'90s heyday of classical (and sometimes even goth)-influenced dark crossover-metal; and more!

This year, Easter and the 15th anniversary of the death of Rozz Williams almost collide. Make sure you spend the day searching not for hidden eggs, but for Christian Death or Shadow Project albums you don't yet own. Despite being a little early, I paid my traditional sonic tribute to Rozz's life in the arts at the top of this episode, with a selection of his poetry, followed by the song that serves as his own, beautifully written epitaph.



Since last we spoke, I had the absolute pleasure of witnessing Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds live, and it went above and beyond all expectations. One of the best shows I've seen. In honor of that, you'll hear the title track from his latest album, Push the Sky Away, on the way into the first full set.

This episode features new music from both former members of the legendary Faith and the Muse. First, a deeper cut from Monica Richards' sublime new Naiades album, and, later, the title track of the new EP from William Faith's The Bellwether Syndicate. I can already tell that "The Night Watch" will go down in history for me as one of the year's most infectious anthems. I just can't play it loudly enough.

Making their debut on this episode with a solid entry into the new wave of post-punk: Vancouver's Spectres, with a slice of their new album, Nothing to Nowhere. You'll also hear the late-but-great 'Coffin debut of Chicago's Cemetery, with a selection from their oft-reprinted 2011 demo cassette. Speaking of strong contenders in the modern goth/deathrock scene, Italy's In Loving Memory (or ILM, to some) have just compiled their work from 2005-2010 on a new release entitled Collection, from which I will share with you the first song I ever heard from the band.

Also new on this episode: A remix from the new XP8 album, Burning Down, as prepared by Nashville's own Cryogen Second; a deeper cut into The Twilight Garden's new CD, Hope; and a selection from Where Drowned Suns Still Glimmer, the new album from The Synthetic Dream Foundation.

All of that, PLUS: More of Brian Tyler's score from "John Dies at the End;" further into the latest albums from Atriarch, Killing Joke, and Light Asylum (see their video here); one bitter tear over not getting to see Morrissey in concert; some great darkwave and deathrock from the vault, and much more!

For this episode, I spent a good deal of time in the vaults, collecting new sounds from forgotten sources, to go along with the sounds of this episode's new releases. There are many seamless matches to behold, if you ask me. The show begins with Lycia doing a Joy Division cover, taken from a rare tribute entitled Ceremonial, and many other obscurities are dropped in along the way.

Not to concentrate on obscurities, though. This weekend in Nashville, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds will be playing, so the first full set begins with one of my favorite live tracks, and one of their best-known hymns, done in a memorably aggressive manner. You can see the band's full tour dates here, to see if you're lucky enough.

One of my most anticipated releases of this year has been the physical version of The Night Watch EP, from Chicago's The Bellwether Syndicate. This new band combines the talents and taste of William Faith (Faith and the Muse, Christian Death, etc.) and DJ Scary Lady Sarah, among others, to emerge with a solid new face for post-punk/gothic rock, with a side of shoegaze. It was hard to pick which song to share first, but the lead track, "All Fire," is pure anthem, so prepare yourself to sing along.

Also new to the show are further cuts from the latest Grooving in Green album, Stranglehold, and the new Red Sun Revival album, Running From the Dawn. Both of these English acts provide updates to traditional goth rock sounds, and fly the proverbial flag with vigor. Speaking of vigor, New York City's Anasazi make their debut on this episode, with a dose of pure deathrock adrenaline, taken from their new Attic Noise EP.

In the industrial realm, you'll new music from Italian EBM/Industrial forefathers Pankow's latest, Shun the Cure They Most Desire, along with a taste of the newly reissued double-disc collection of cEvin Key & Dwayne Goettel's recordings as Doubting Thomas, entitled Infidel. Both are new from the Metropolis Records label.

Also from the Metropolis roster, I throw the spotlight on God Module's current tour with The Ludovico Technique, Mordacious, and Frontal Boundary, which will roll through Nashville next week, but you can see the full tour dates here to find the show nearest you. On the other side of the roster, Psyclon Nine's Nero Bellum makes a guest appearance on a new track from Dawn of Ashes, on the verge of both bands releasing new albums this year.

All of that, PLUS: Brian Tyler's score from the new Don Coscarelli film, "John Dies at the End;" more new sounds from Finland's Beastmilk; the overdue introduction of Portland's The Estranged to the show; more unexpected soundtrack selections, and further reaches into the deathrock, post-punk, and odd-music vaults.

This episode begins with a new B-side from London's Ulterior. "Arabella" was given away as a bonus track to those who helped launch the new album through the band's PledgeMusic drive. Unlike a lot of extras and bonus tracks, it's every bit as good as the material found on the band's new album, The Bleach Room.

Two seemingly unrelated pieces came together to inspire my next move, which was a dip backwards into the folk realms of the 1960s. It's not an area I often travel to on this show, but with legendary psychdelic '60s band The Zombies playing in my town next week, my head has been soaked in such sounds a lot as of late. Then, along came the desire to share some of the Simon-and-Garfunkel-esque, more contemporary sounds of In Gowan Ring, and a pairing was born. Kicking the first set off this way may be a curve-ball for some, but never fear. It gets traditional from that point on.

Speaking of traditional sounds, for those in search of new, yet traditional, gothic rock sounds, Baltimore's The Drowning Season may help fill that void. The band's new EP, Tomorrow's Gone features a heavy dose of 'Nephilim and Sisters' influence, and it's available for your inspection on their Bandcamp site, here.

This weekend in Nashville, we gather to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of our longest-running Gothic/Industrial night, +SALVATION+, where I've been DJing for most of those years. As I prepared for the event, poring over music choices and tons of old photos, I decided to do a musical retrospective, highlighting the music that was played in the clubs, and on this show, ten years ago. Listen for two sets based in 2003, the first focusing on goth, post-punk, and darkwave, and the second on electro-goth, industrial, and (Terror)EBM.

Speaking of 10 year anniversaries, God Module's Empath album, their second release, turns 10 this year as well. In honor of that, the band has reissued the album with a newly revamped  bonus track that you'll hear on this episode. They're also mounting a tour in honor of that anniversary. See the dates here.

All of that, plus: Two new & different faces of the current doom scene, a track deeper into the new album from The Twilight Garden, obscure film score music rescued from a crackled print, another historically great band with a profoundly confusing name, and more...

This episode begins with an interesting mash-up. Although not a new release, it is probably new to most ears. On the heels of a very interesting Twin Peaks-themed event in Nashville last weekend, Colatron's mash-up of the classic Jimmy Scott song "Sycamore Trees," with the trip-hop noir of Portishead's "Cowboys," felt like a great way to start the show.

In the realm of brand new entries for this episode, we start with a pair of new releases from Projekt Records. Fans of Twin Peaks music may also enjoy the ethereal sounds of Autumn's Grey Solace, who begin with a selection entitled "Sáwol" (spirit, soul) from their latest album, Divinian. Following that, Adrian H and the Wounds make their 'Coffin debut with a selection from their self-titled Projekt debut, with a sound very friendly to fans of Tom Waits or Nick Cave.

Speaking of the illustrious Mr. Cave, the show then proceeds with a brand new single from Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, taken from the soon-to-be-released Push the Sky Away. The band is hitting the road in support of the new album, which you can order in a variety of editions here, while you peruse all of their forthcoming tour dates.

One of the most often-heard bands on this show, ROME, gets the "Then and Now" treatment on this show. Having discussed his previous bands in a recent interview, Jerome Reuter led many a fan to look into the music of Mack Murphy & the Inmates. As the chief songwriter for the band in the early 2000's, Reuter penned dozens of great songs in a post-punk/folk-rock style, some of which would later be altered and stripped down to become beloved ROME favorites. You'll hear a side-by-side comparison of two versions of one such song, "Birds of Prey," on this episode.

We'll then sink one track deeper into Riot, the new album from the German gothic rock band, Golden Apes, before plunging into a set of classic post-punk, mixed with current post-punk, goth, and deathrock. As the next set grows more industrial, you'll hear another new track from The Ludovico Technique's Some Things Are Beyond Therapy.

All of that, plus: A nod to Pallbearer as they wind their way across North America again, a trip into the forgotten woods for a bit more black metal than usually heard on the show these days, Cult and 'Eerie' background selections, and more.
