Welcome to the 2026 edition of the Out ov the Coffin "Compilation for the Dead" -- a tribute to the golden age of compilation CDs that turned me on to so much music in the pre-internet '90s. Back then, if you were lucky, you would find one that promised to strike a particular mood, so you could check out a whole slate of fresh bands at once and take notes on the full albums you needed to hunt down in (GASP!) actual stores or esoteric catalogues from then on.
Times have changed, of course, but since those old CDs were so helpful to me when I first started getting into this kind music, I wanted to make a modern update with that same goal in mind -- so if this compilation turns you on to a bunch of new music, I consider it a success, and that's why I do one of these episodes each Fall. It's also a good introduction to what the show is about for any newcomers.

It's also a good introduction to what the show is about for any newcomers.
Unlike a regular episode of the show, this one is designed to play through without talk breaks (once you get past the intro), so you can throw it on and focus on this season's crop of new and current dark bands that I think people should know about. To further make it feel like one of those old comps, here's a graphic that looks just like an old CD insert:
Unlike previous editions, THIS mix features entirely new music, with not a single song having been featured on a prior episode, and not a single band repeated from last year. In fact, there are several bands making their 'Coffin debut this time, including Chicago's Lilac Lament, new Dutch artists Dear Omen, Los Angeles darkwave act Shadows Hold, Boston goth-folk act The Infinity Ring, Ukrainian dark ambient project Delirium Canae Equae, and Brazilian black metal artists Litosth.

Scroll down for the full playlist with all the details. Each artist's name on the playlist links to a site for buying their music or learning more (usually a Bandcamp link), and next to each band name is their country of origin, for the curious.
If this is your first episode of Out ov the Coffin, regular episodes release semi-monthly, taking the form of a traditional, hosted radio show, with an emphasis on new music -- but also including classics from the vault, episodic themes, and further cuts into current albums in the realms of: Goth, post-punk, deathrock, darkwave, coldwave, film scores, dark metal, and beyond.
The next one in line will actually be another special edition, October's traditional Halloween Special, which is both a personal and listener favorite each year. Look for that one towards the end of the month, as the veil draws thinner...
Until then, if you're new here, I encourage you to check out some of the previous episodes (here or here), and to follow the show on Facebook and Instagram.
Thanks,
Ichabod
