EPISODE NOTES & HIGHLIGHTS: 

 

VELCOME to the 2026 Out ov the Coffin HALLOWEEN SPECIAL! A ghoul-guided three-hour-tour through the crypts of Halloween-obsessed Goth, post-punk, deathrock, darkwave, metal, and horror! Featuring: NEW, current, and classic FULL-SIZE songs, riddled with dozens of fun-sized bites of cvlt movie dialogue, sound effects, trailers, TV spots, novelty records, horror movie sounds, and FAR too many thunderclaps -- all assembled in ritual formation, and (g)hosted by yours truly, DJ Ichabod.

 
This year's episode artwork SKELEbrates the 40th anniversary of the "Spookies," the cult 1986 movie that was Frankensteined together from two different films, to make one enduring mess of a classic seasonal watch -- and that's just one of a whole pillowcase full of films and albums gathered from the 1986 season that are celebrated in this episode, alongside essential entries from 1976, 1996, and even (gasp) 2001! 

Never fear though! In addition to that cryptful of clasSICK Halloween Hymns and SCAREities from the vault, I have ungraved an army of fresh musical specimens for you this year, including new tricks from Mouth Ulcers, Past Self, Horror Vacui, Shadows Hold, The Spiritual Bat, Boo Dudes, Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows, Veil Witch, Escumergamënt, Devil Master, John Carpenter, Saidan, Chamber of Unlight, FRΛMWVRK, The Legendary Pink Dots, and more! 

NOW, head to your local cemetery, kill the lights, turn up the volume, and soak in all the Halloween spirit I've packed into this episode. If it pierces your veil in the right way, please hand it out to your FIENDS by sharing it on your social media platform of choice.

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.

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:

Go ahead, print it out and hold it while you listen!

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

EPISODE NOTES & HIGHLIGHTS:

Welcome to the Summer 2026 Episode of "Out ov the Coffin." Needless to say, it's been a busy (and PUNISHINGLY HOT) summer, so this one episode is standing in for June, July, and August this year -- but what a loaded show it is! In addition to the regular slate of new releases and selections from the vaults, this episode includes my annual spotlight on Dragon Con, coming up in Atlanta this Labor Day weekend!

This episode begins with a double shot of tributes, and ends the same way, in a bookended attempt to pay respects to two absolute icons in their respective fields: Dolly Parton and Tim Curry, who both died last week at the age of 80. Now, while Dolly was never associated with goth herself, plenty of goth bands took her work and translated it beautifully, so you will hear two of those covers on this show, as well as a double dose of Tim Curry being dark and atmospheric on his own. Opening the show is Tears for the Dying's lovely, haunting take on Parton's "Jolene," followed by Tim Curry's own smoke-filled, sultry voice on the Screamin' Jay Hawkins classic, "I Put a Spell on You." Rest in Peace, both of you.

Dolly Parton: 1946-2026

Tim Curry 1946-2026

The first full set begins with more fresh Italian deathrock from Horror Vacui's newly released Shadows Sanctuary. Self-described K-Goth pioneers Past Self return next with a fast-paced new single entitled 제물 (Jemul), followed by a debut from Washington DC goth act Winter Sect. We then pay tribute to the 30th anniversaries of two very important records to the mid-'90s goth sound, Faith and the Muse's incredible second album Annwyn, Beneath the Waves, and London After Midnight's ultimate club-anthem breakthrough Psycho Magnet, before saluting the 40th anniversary of underrated Scottish post-punk band Lowlife's Permanent Sleep record from 1986. Finally, we close the set with another new single from Dead Can Dance, which has been raising the eternal question of whether or not Lisa Gerard is involved in the new material. 

 

Set two shines the spotlight on DRAGON CON 2026, which runs this Labor Day weekend, from September 3rd - 7th in Atlanta, GA. For the uninitiated, Dragon Con is the southeast's largest multimedia convention, dedicated to Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Comics, Gaming, Horror, Music, Art, Film, Television, Cosplay, and anything else about which you can be a Nerd - including Goth! As you may know, I am the Assistant Director of the Horror Track, where I run the Goth-related programming, including the annual Goth Panel ("Goth: Release the Bats") and our on-site goth dance event, The Open Casket Party!

The Open Casket Party: Goth Night at Dragon Con. Details HERE!

There are hundreds of things to do at the convention, so I could do an entire show on just what to see there, but I've boiled this single set down to highlights relating to bands that are playing the convention, guests that are appearing this year, and music and sounds related to goth-friendly topics that we're covering on the Dragon Con Horror Track. 
 
We begin with the brand new single from Dusty Gannon and the Agonal Gasps (featuring former frontman of Vision Video, Goth Dad, of course), who will be doing their first-ever live show at this year's convention! 

We then hear a new song(!!!) from the recently reunited cult '90s goth band, Requiem in White, which was the first band from Doc Hammer and his then-wife Lisa Hammer (who would go on to form Mors Syphilitica!). To say I was surprised to see them return is an understatement, but I am really glad they did. Doc will, of course, be at the con to talk about his co-creation, The Venture Bros., among other things. We then hear some music from the Season 3 score to "Yellowjackets," in honor of young-Lottie actor Courney Eaton's appearance, followed by a new single from Tears for the Dying, in honor of Adria's appearance on this year's "Release the Bats" Gothic/Industrial discussion panel. 

We then hear new music from "The Vampire Lestat" series' soundtrack, featuring Sam Reid as Lestat, with music by composer Daniel Hart, in honor of our multiple Anne Rice fan panels this year. After that, a guest we've been hoping to land for years will finaly be joining us, so you hear some Skinny Puppy in honor of frontman Nivek Ogre's appearance at the con this year (also the 40th anniversary of the Mind:TPI album). Ogre will be speaking on the Goth panel this year, doing a Q&A with Aurelio Voltaire following a special screening of their new film "The Demonatrix," (for which you hear the trailer in this set) and appearing on panels about his movie career and playing creatures on film. Finally, we close the Dragon Con 2026 set with the latest single from The Cruxshadows, who will play in their traditional late-Sunday/early Monday slot, to close out the festivities.

 
Here is a quick list of the Dragon Con panels, events, and guests that I reference in the course of this episode. For the best and most up-to-date information on these events (and MANY more), please get the official Dragon Con App. Otherwise, I hope to see you at the con!

🦇 = Events that I am moderating or DJing 

Set three jumps into motion with new music from Canadian post-punk/goth/darkwave act Modele, who have been popping up everywhere in social media lately with a stack of catchy singles. You'll be able to catch them in tour this fall, including a Fascination Street presents show in Nashville on October 23rd at the East Room. From there, we delve deeper into the latest from Florida's Astari Nite, taken from their latest EP, Medications In Bloom. We are then treated to new music from Nashville's own General Trust, with the title track from their latest duskwave EP, Plans 2. Easing off the BPM pedal for a moment, we slow down the tempo and raise the distortion for new music from Sweden's Slowkill, folowed by a taste of the new Chelsea Wolfe album, The Dark, and finally transition to full, aching doom with the closing track from the first new Warning record in over 15 years, the ever-moving Rituals of Shame. 

The dark metal begins in earnest on set four, which sees the return of Portugese masters Moonspell, followed by followed by a 30th anniversary throwback to the golden age of 'Beauty and the Beast' metal, in the form of Theatre of Tragedy's Velvet Darkness They Fear. "And When He Falleth" was a staple in my early radio days, with it's heavy sacreligious overtones and abundant samples from the Poe/Corman/Price film version of "The Masque of the Red Death." We then go a track deeper into the new EP from powerful Ukrainian black metal act, SVRM, before giving you a taste of the forthcoming Bloody Dreams album from everybody's favorite Philadelphia ghouls, Devil Master. One more anniversary to mention, this time for Katatonia's highly influential (on me) 1996 release, Brave Murder Day, which leads us to the closing dark metal track for the episode, an epic-length atmospheric black metal journey from Ukraine's Severoth, taken from their forthcoming album, Waves. 

All of that PLUS: New experimental/ambient sounds from Ukraine's Støïbrok; New soundtrack work from "Backrooms," "Widow's Bay," "Masters of the Universe," and "Batman: Caped Crusader" S2; Selections from the goth, post-punk, and dark metal vaults; and more!
