BONUS PODCAST: Compilation for the Dead 2016

[STREAM this episode (on Mixcloud)]

This special bonus episode (not to be confused with the regular September episode, which will arrive next week) is the podcast version of the Out ov the Coffin: Compilation for the Dead 2016. What's that? Well, the "Compilation for the Dead" is actually a mixtape-style version of the podcast, so the snake is eating its tail here.

I started the "Compilation for the Dead" series back in 2007, after attending Dragon Con for a couple of years, where I would consistently have conversations about the state of "goth" music, its relative health, and if there were any good bands these days. My answer to the last question was always an emphatic "yes!," but in order to put my money where my mouth was, I decided to make it a physical reality that I could just hand to people as proof.

"I made you a mixtape...." See? Not creepy at all!

So, each year (this one being the 10th, so it's ~special~), I choose just under 80 minutes of new and current music to represent my podcast, my DJing style, and, most importantly, the current state of the goth & dark music scene as I see it. I then hand-craft 100 physical copies, and give the mix away to people that come to the goth-related panels that I moderate*. Once that's done, I upload the mix as a podcast, so everyone else can hear it, too.

For those who just found out about "Out ov the Coffin" at Dragon Con this year, I welcome you aboard. This is a special recap episode, so maybe you've heard it all, but the next regular (monthly), brand new episode will launch next week, featuring even more great new music -- alongside classics from the vault, and other current dark sounds from the realms of post-punk, deathrock, darkwave, goth, industrial, film scores, dark metal, and more.

In the meantime, if you're new to this podcast, I encourage you to check out some of the previous episodes (here or here), and to follow the show on Facebook.

Thanks,
Ichabod

Another Bonus podcast? Yes! The regular September episode of "Out ov the Coffin" will appear some time next week, but for now, please enjoy this podcast version of the Out ov the Coffin: Compilation for the Dead 2015.

I started the "Compilation for the Dead" series back in 2007, after attending Dragon Con for a couple of years, where I would consistently have conversations about the state of "goth" music, whether the scene was dying or not, and if there were any good bands these days. My answer to the last question was always "yes!," but in order to put my money where my mouth was, I decided to make it a physical reality that I could just hand to people as proof.

So, each year (this one being the 9th consecutive), I choose just under 80 minutes of new and current music to represent my podcast, my DJing style, and, most importantly, the current state of the goth & dark music scene as I see it.

Another Bonus podcast? Yes, indeed. The regular September episode of "Out ov the Coffin" will appear some time next week, but for now, please enjoy this podcast version of the Out ov the Coffin: Compilation for the Dead 2014.

"Compilation for the Dead," you say? Allow me to explain: Back in 2007, after attending Dragon Con for a couple of years, I really liked the idea of "convention exclusives" -- souvenirs that people could only get their hands on when they came to an event in person -- so I decided to make one of my own, and this series was born. This 2014 comp is the 8th installment so far.

Each year, I choose just under 80 minutes of new and current music to represent both my podcast and the current state of the goth & dark music scene. I then hand-craft 100 physical copies, and give them away to people that come to the goth-related panels that I moderate*. Once those are gone, I upload the mix as a podcast, so everyone else can hear it, too.

This year, I had the distinct pleasure of including two songs that had never-before appeared on CD: Gild the Mourn's "Shade," and one of my favorites from the new crop of singles from The Last Dance, "Scars." Those two join an impressive collection of current sounds that, to me, speak volumes for the health of this genre.

For those who just found out about this podcast at Dragon Con this year, I welcome you aboard. This is a special recap, but the next regular (monthly), brand new episode will launch next week, featuring even more great new music -- alongside classics, other current dark sounds, and even some of the selections that had to be cut from this compilation in order to fit on one disc.

Out ov the Coffin: BONUS Episode: Compilation for the Dead 2014 by Out Ov The Coffin on Mixcloud

PODCAST: September 7th, 2012 [Compilation for the Dead 2012]

[STREAM this episode (on Mixcloud)]

The last episode was all about Dragon*Con, which no doubt left more than a few people feeling a bit left out. So, in lieu of a traditional episode upon my return, I thought I would offer people a chance to hear what they might have missed.

Every year since 2007, I've hand-crafted a limited batch of compilations to give away at the convention, partly to give people a taste of what "Out ov the Coffin" is like -- and, most importantly, to fly the flag for current goth & dark music that people may not be hearing. It's gotten more and more popular each year, which resulted in all available copies being snapped up before the Con was even through its second day.

So, for those that couldn't attend the con -- or for those who just didn't get a copy while supplies lasted -- this podcast encapsulates the contents of the Out ov the Coffin "Compilation for the Dead 2012." It evens features two bands never heard on the show before: Finland's Beastmilk, who turn in a Jim Morrison-soaked take on the heavier end of post-punk, and Portland Oregon's Atriarch, who offer a vital link between classic deathrock and current metal. Plus: Brand new material from Worm Ouroboros, taken from their new release, "Come the Thaw."

For those who just found out about this podcast at Dragon*Con this year, I welcome you aboard. The next brand new episode will launch on Friday, September 21st, featuring loads of new music that I've gathered in my recent travels. In the meantime, if you're new to this show, I encourage you to check out some of the previous episodes (here), and to follow the show on Facebook.
Thanks,
