This episode begins with a taste of the new Zola Jesus album, Versions, which is a collaboration with J.G. Thirlwell (Foetus, music for "The Venture Bros."), who arranged ten of vocalist/writer Nika Roza Danilova's songs for string quartet, with interesting results. A DVD of their performance at the Guggenheim in New York City was also pressed, and is available in limited quantities as a giveaway/bonus from select retailers with the purchases of the album.

Finally making its way on the show this time is the new Lycia album, Quiet Moments. Billed as a return-to-form for the long-dormant nearly-ambient goth/darkwave project, longtime fans have not been disappointed with the results, which grow from slow, moody pieces, to more animated electronic fare as the album builds.

Making their debut on this episode is Germany's LowCityRain, whose modern mixture of post-punk, new wave, and shoegaze has garnered a good deal of praise over the last few months, in advance of their self-titled new album's release. Speaking of high praise, we'll go a track deeper into the new Beastmilk album, Climax, which continues to appear on many a writer's forthcoming "Best of 2013" lists. You'll see it on my list as well.

Taking a turn for the electronic/industrial, you'll hear another new song from NOIR's new album, Darkly Near; however, if that's not hard enough for you, stay tuned for the 'Coffin-debut of Pharmakon, whose new EP Abandon is a sordid, uncomfortable wasteland of screams and noise that might pleasantly set your teeth on edge. Then, as we lean towards the metal portion of the show, you'll get your first taste of Order of the Shadow, Act 1, the latest industrial/metal infection from Psyclon Nine.

A rather non-traditional metal set begins with new music from the band Vaura. Something of a super-group, the band features members of Gorguts, Secret Chiefs 3, Kayo Dot, and Blacklist, the last of which being no strangers to this podcast. Their new Profound Lore album, The Missing, might best be described as "Agalloch gone post-punk." If that's not heavy enough for you, some new death-doom from Manifesting's Descension Through the Seven Forbidden Seals album should fill that void. You'll aslo hear another new cut from Cult of Fire, venturing further into their new album, मृत्यु का तापसी अनुध्यान.

All of that, PLUS: Further fresh music from Lux Interna, Soror Dolorosa, Gris, and Sewer Goddess; A spotlight on the current Ego Likeness US tour; some choice selections from the vault; and more.

With Halloween/Samhain behind us, this episode returns to bringing you mountains of new music to check out (alongside some classics and other current albums, of course). First up is a taste of the new full-length from NOIR, the latest band from Athan Maroulis (Black Tape for a Blue Girl, Spahn Ranch, etc.). The song I selected represents the most ethereal track on an album that leans more towards darkwave/electronic sounds, but it is one of the standouts for me, so I chose it to lead the episode this time.

Already one of my favorite albums of the year, you'll get a taste of the new Beastmilk album, Climax, which is raising eyebrows everywhere by building on the driving post-punk -- with almost psychedelic '60s/'70s goth overtones -- that they impressed us with on their Use Your Deluge EP. Set for release on November 29th on Svart Records, you can pre-order Climax here.

A couple of new singles land on this episode: First, Sweden's Principe Valiente are back with a new single, "She Never Returned," awash in the effects-swollen modern post-punk sound for which they've come to be known. Then, the (originally South African) band The Awakening have released a teaser (and a video) for their forthcoming album, in the form of the song "Fault." We'll also go a track deeper into the b-sides from the new ROME single, Hate Us and See if We Mind.

Also in the deeper cuts department, we'll further explore the latest from Chelsea Wolfe, IAM{X}, and Summoning. For some local flavor, you'll also get your first taste of the new Nashville band BloodDrive (featuring a member of Dessau), who have now released their first EP of post-punk/dark rock sounds. Get it here.

In the dark metal portion of the show, you'll hear new music from the UK's CODE, whose new album Augur Nox is sure to appeal to fans of Ved Buens Ende, Arcturus, and DHG (with whom they share a member). From the Czech Republic, the arcane writings of Cult of Fire make their debut on this episode, from their unpronounceable new album, मृत्यु का तापसी अनुध्यान, courtesy of Iron Bonehead Productions.

All of that, PLUS: New dark ambient/industrial tracks from Treha Sektori and Arditi, both taken from Heathen Harvest's new (and free for a limited time) Samhainwork II compilation; Overdue arrivals from Finland's Silent Scream and Portland Oregon's The Bellicose Minds; A spotlight on the southern leg of the Velvet Acid Christ & The Twilight Garden tour (which will hit Nashville on 11/11); some classics from the vault; and much, much more.

Good evening, boils and ghouls! It's that most wonderful time of the year again: Halloween! And no Halloween would be complete without a brand new Out ov the Coffin Halloween Special to drop into everyone's treat bags. It's my favorite show to create, because it's thoroughly stuffed with layers of songs & sounds that combine to fog your mind with just the right atmosphere for the season, as seen through the lens of goth, deathrock, darkwave, horror culture, dark metal, and the bloodless face pressed cold against your window at night.

In addition to many current & classic seasonal tracks, movie trailers, and horror samples, you'll notice the arrival of many recently deceased musical offerings on this episode. Just in time for Halloween, the brothers Calabrese, known to many as "The World's Greatest Horror Rock Band," are back with a brand new album, entitled Born with a Scorpion's Touch. Although this album sees the band experimenting with other areas of the exploitation film section (leather rebels and renegade bikers), there is still some great horror business to be done, and you'll hear it here, tonight.

Since the last episode, I had the distinct pleasure of seeing the legendary Italian Horror Soundtrack masters, Goblin, live on stage for the first time in the USA. Needless to say, it was well worth the road trip, as they flawlessly rocked through a set riddled with the songs that put them on the horror map. Death Waltz Recording Company released a special Tour EP 2013 for the band, featuring new recordings of fan-favorites, as played by the current line-up -- which features 3 of the original members. You'll hear one of the updated versions on the way into this show.

Also new on this episode is your first taste of the band Rituaal, a new doom/black metal project featuring members of Father Befouled, Encoffination, Loss, and Mourner. Their self-titled, occult-obsessed debut 7" has just been released on Parasitic Records, and you'll step into that circle tonight. You'll also hear new experimental/dark ambient/noise tracks from Sewer Goddess and Wolvserpent, and even a special Halloween version of The Venture Bros. opening theme, updated for the season by J.G. Thirlwell.

And just when you thought it was safe to stop listening, you'll get a Bonus New Wave Halloween Set at the end -- a tribute to the intersection of '80s Horror films, and the synth rock atmosphere that made them stick.

So, kill the lights in favor of candles, skip dinner in favor of candy, and take a sharp blade to a pumpkin as you drift into more than 3 hours of sonic Halloween spirit.

Out ov the Coffin: Halloween Special 2013 by Out Ov The Coffin on Mixcloud

PODCAST: September 27th, 2013

(or use the embedded player at the bottom of this post)

Having just returned from the singular experience of Stella Natura: The Light of Ancestral Fires II, a multi-genre festival held in the forest-draped mountains of the high Sierras, this episode will doubtless be colored by that experience. As a means of preservation, you will hear many of the bands that performed, along with a few campfire stories I've brought back home with me.

On that note, the show opens with a new song from Lux Interna, whose set took place late into the freezing night on Sunday, thickening the already substantial atmosphere of their sound, as displayed on their latest album, There is Light in the Body, There is Blood in the Sun.

Following closely behind the dark folk of Lux Interna is the title track from the brand new ROME single, Hate Us and See if We Mind. The 45-minute EP features not only this more traditional (and impressive) title track, but also two nearly 20-minute experimental tracks, as well as a more subdued acoustic ballad to round it out.

For the straight-ahead gothic rock fans, The Mission (UK) have returned to the scene with a new album entitled The Brightest Light. Hailed as more than a return-to-form, the album is actually being praised as a reinvention. Meanwhile, you'll hear further cuts from the new Soror Dolorosa and Brotherhood releases.

In the current post-punk vein, Philadelphia's Night Sins have just released a free teaser for their forthcoming 2014 album, in the form of the single To London of the Lake. You can get it here, and see the video for it here. And from the other side of the country, Oakland's Wax Idols make their debut on the show this time with a song from their brand new album, Discipline & Desire.

We'll also go further into the excellent new Chelsea Wolfe album, Pain is Beauty, and check out another track from Brazil's Escarlatina Obsessiva, who have just released a video for the song "Fakir." You can see that one right here. Not enough? You'll also get the latest in a series of free live cover versions given away by KTAOABC (Kiss the Anus of a Black Cat), who this time have turned in a rendition of Front 242's "Kampfbereit." Get that one here.

In the dark metal portion of the show, you'll hear the debut of California's Weightlessness, taken from their forthcoming Graceless Records release, Of Lachrymose Grief. And we'll close the show with an extended cut from the new Wolvserpent double-album, Perigaea Antahkaran, which should help send everything home in a properly strange, atmospheric manner.

All of that, PLUS: Spotlights on the October tours of the legendary acts Goblin and Danzig; Fresh dark ambient rituals from The Netherlands' Kave and Poland's Inner Vision Laboratory (both taken from the new Kalpamantra compilation The Black Plague); A link to some possibly overlooked Lisa Gerrard material; and much, much more.

Out ov the Coffin: September 27th, 2013 by Out Ov The Coffin on Mixcloud

PODCAST: September 13th, 2013: Compilation for the Dead 2013

[STREAM this episode (on Mixcloud)]
(or scroll to the bottom to stream it here)

For those who were unable to attend Dragon Con, there are many things you missed -- and while I cannot replace most of those things, or approximate them for you, there is one thing I can give you. This podcast replicates the contents of my 2013 "Compilation for the Dead," which is known to many as a giveaway that I offer to those I run into each year at the convention.

The point? I make a small batch of these each year to highlight some great current artists -- which is also part of the mission of this podcast, so it also serves as a taste of what the show is like. Win/win. If my mission is successful, people will come out the other side having been turned on to a short list of current artists from the realms of goth, deathrock, post-punk, darkwave, industrial, dark ambient, and dark metal -- and, hopefully, they'll go out and support these bands, talk about them, and pick up their albums.

More than just a look back at sounds you've heard on this show before, this compilation/podcast offers several brand new bands and tracks making their debut on this episode: Fresh darkwave/post-punk from Brazil's Escarlatina Obsessiva; new post-punk/neo-folk from Australia's Lakes; traditional gothic rock from France's Soror Dolorosa; another brand new track from the just-released Chelsea Wolfe album, Pain is Beauty; along with previously unheard, but recently unearthed, gems from Nagual Art, Funeral Parade, and Kontravoid.

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, brand new episode will launch on Friday, September 27th, featuring even more great new music, alongside classics and other current dark sounds. 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,
Ichabod

Dragon Con, Dragon Con, Dragon Con!!!

This episode is (unofficially) all about Dragon Con, THE ultimate Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Comic Book, Horror, Pop-Culture, Film, Television, Music, Art, and everything-else-that's-cool convention, held annually in Atlanta, Georgia over Labor Day Weekend (August 29th - September 2nd this year). In addition to panels, parties, and costuming, they also happen to feature a number of concerts from Darkwave, Industrial, and Goth bands, which is how I was first drawn into the fold back in 2005. 

This episode features sounds and songs entirely related-to and inspired-by this year's guests, fan panels, and bands that will be performing live -- including music from The Cruxshadows, Voltaire, Angelspit, Abney Park, Unwoman, and a brand new track from Calabrese. Panel and event highlights for me this year include a screening of "Nightbreed: The Cabal Cut," preceded by a Q&A with the lead actors (FB event page HERE), and a panel on "The Return of the Living Dead," with star Linnea Quigley ("Trash") and production designer William Stout.

Last year's Dark Fantasy & Horror Track covered so much that it was split into two tracks this year: The Urban Fantasy Track, and the all-new Horror Track, of which I am the Assistant Director. Both new tracks are located at the Westin this year.

Since I work for the Horror Track, there are many references to the panels, guests, and topics we're presenting this year (see our full schedule HERE), but my Dragon Con coverage is not limited to just what we're doing. This episode goes all over the map of Geekdom, as one might call it: Horror, Comics, Sci-Fi, Cartoons, Dark & Weird Music, etc.

On the playlist below, you will find not only the list of everything played on this podcast, along with links to each artist featured, but you will also find my notes on where to catch each related guest or performer at the convention (in small print below each name) -- because I'm here to help. Of course, you'll want to check the Official Program Guide to make sure of these times, or install one of their many Smartphone Apps HERE (for Android, iPhone, or Other devices).

If this podcast serves its purpose, it will turn you on to some attractions at Dragon Con that you might not have considered. Failing that, it should at least get you as excited to hurry up and get there as I am right now. So, grab this episode and listen to it on the ride down, or stream it while you're packing up your costumes, and I'll see you at the Con!

NOTE:  This podcast is independently produced, and not officially endorsed by Dragon*Con. 'Nuff said.

Also: If you're wondering what panels I will be moderating this year, here's the list:

• Friday 5:30pm: "State of the Goth Scene" [Roswell, Westin]
  Our annual discussion of how the goth/industrial/darkwave scene is doing, from the perspective of bands, DJs, and fans alike. Panelists: Rogue & Jess (The Cruxshadows), Zoog (Angelspit), DJ Spider, Gopal Metro (Bella Morte, Brighter Fires)
• Saturday 1pm: "The Return of the Living Dead" [Atlanta, Ballroom, Westin]
  "You ever fantasize about being killed?" Come help me interview some of the people responsible for the greatest horror/comedy ever made! Bring a Q and get an A. Panelists: Linnea Quigley ("Trash"), William Stout (Production Designer; father of "Tarman" and the zombies).
• Saturday 5:30pm: "Music Video TerrorVision"  [Roswell, Westin]
  A special screening of music videos from our band guests, with live Q&A, commentary, and making-of stories. Featuring the premiere screening of the Cruxshadows new "Valkyrie" video! Panelists: Calabrese, The Cruxshadows, Angelspit.
• Sunday 7pm: "That Old Black Magic" [Imperial Ballroom, Marriott]
  An amazing (upside-down)cross-section of actors discuss being "evil" on screen. Panelists: Doug Bradley (Hellraiser); Julian Sands (Warlock); Doug Jones (Pan's Labyrinth); Linnea Quigley (Night of the Demons); Nicholas Vince (Hallraiser).

NOTE: The Horror Track is located in the Westin, with most panels based out of the Roswell room on the 8th floor (two floors up from the entrance level), but some of our panels will be held in larger rooms, such as the Westin's Peachtree and Atlanta Ballrooms, or the larger halls in the Hyatt or Marriott.
