PLAYLIST & PODCAST: Thursday, May 26th, 2011

This week's episode brought us new music from one of the forefathers himself, Peter Murphy, whose new album, "Ninth," will see release on June 7th in the US. For those in Nashville, there will be a CD Release Party for that at the +SALVATION+ Goth Prom this Sunday night. CD and Poster giveaways will happen, and Ichabod will be one of the DJs for the night.

Also new this week was the music of Portland's Disemballerina, who have a curious name, for sure, but also a very interesting sound that mixes gothic chamber music with acoustic guitar work that reveals a metal background. They've generated quite a buzz recently.

Reaching further into the indie music world's recent tendency towards darker, more goth-friendly music, Austra gave us their new single, "Beat and the Pulse." It's also been talked about quite a bit in recent months, with it's very electronic roots, topped with darker, more ethereal, female vocals.

Australia's Moon debuted this week as well, with a taste of their brand of cold, slow-moving black metal. The show closed with a spotlight on the experimental doombience of Wolvserpent, who make their way to Nashville tonight, at Little Hamilton.

PLAYLIST & PODCAST: Thursday, May 19th, 2011

The May 19th episode was the first to take place in the new Summer 2011 time slot: 10pm (central) on Thursday nights. So, look for the show two hours earlier than normal from now until the Fall, and feast your eyes on the brand new flyer:

 

Feel free to spread the flyer around, wherever you see fit.

A lot of great new music emerged on this week's show:

First, the original line-up of Bella Morte (Andy Deane and Gopal Metro) have been working behind the scenes on a new post-punk/post-goth project called Brighter Fires. If you've ever wondered what might have been if the two had continued to work together as Bella Morte, Brighter Fires answers that question, and then some, with excellent results. Their first single ("From the Sky") from the forthcoming album was featured on the show this week, and it is currently available as a free download on their Bandcamp site (linked below). Check it out.

Also new to the show this week were entries from the post-punk/indie-goth side, from the UK's Esben & the Witch and Italy's Christine Plays Viola, who together started to push this week's episode into a theme of witchcraft that continued to crop up throughout -- especially towards the end of the program. I can never resist the emergence of a good theme, as you know, and this is also reflected in the new flyer.

Germany's Ghostfog gave us a new industrial landscape, mixed with some post-punk guitar lines and metallic vocals, while Nashville's own funeral-doom band Loss finally gave the world a taste of their long-awaited full-length, "despond," which sees its official release this Month on Profound Lore Records, Canada.

PLAYLIST & PODCAST: Thursday, May 12th, 2011

This week, a new entry arrived from Skinny Puppy founder, and cult-film-star-of-late, OhGr, whose latest solo work is entitled "Undeveloped." We also heard from Zombi, whose Italian-Horror-inspired roots have lately given way to something a bit more electronic in nature, while still retaining a bit of that reminiscent flavor.

Speaking of horror fandom, Nashville area listeners may be interested to know that this weekend is the annual Full Moon Tattoo and Horror Festival. The guest of honor this year is Malcolm McDowell, who will join a long list of horror-related guests. He will also be appearing tonight at the Belcourt Theatre to introduce a special screening of Rob Zombie's "Halloween" reboot.

I started out this week's show with something older from Swans, who will finally make their way to Nashville this September. To see their full list of tour dates (so far), and find out if you'll be lucky enough to catch them in your town, click here.
