This year, Easter and the 15th anniversary of the death of Rozz Williams almost collide. Make sure you spend the day searching not for hidden eggs, but for Christian Death or Shadow Project albums you don't yet own. Despite being a little early, I paid my traditional sonic tribute to Rozz's life in the arts at the top of this episode, with a selection of his poetry, followed by the song that serves as his own, beautifully written epitaph.



Since last we spoke, I had the absolute pleasure of witnessing Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds live, and it went above and beyond all expectations. One of the best shows I've seen. In honor of that, you'll hear the title track from his latest album, Push the Sky Away, on the way into the first full set.

This episode features new music from both former members of the legendary Faith and the Muse. First, a deeper cut from Monica Richards' sublime new Naiades album, and, later, the title track of the new EP from William Faith's The Bellwether Syndicate. I can already tell that "The Night Watch" will go down in history for me as one of the year's most infectious anthems. I just can't play it loudly enough.

Making their debut on this episode with a solid entry into the new wave of post-punk: Vancouver's Spectres, with a slice of their new album, Nothing to Nowhere. You'll also hear the late-but-great 'Coffin debut of Chicago's Cemetery, with a selection from their oft-reprinted 2011 demo cassette. Speaking of strong contenders in the modern goth/deathrock scene, Italy's In Loving Memory (or ILM, to some) have just compiled their work from 2005-2010 on a new release entitled Collection, from which I will share with you the first song I ever heard from the band.

Also new on this episode: A remix from the new XP8 album, Burning Down, as prepared by Nashville's own Cryogen Second; a deeper cut into The Twilight Garden's new CD, Hope; and a selection from Where Drowned Suns Still Glimmer, the new album from The Synthetic Dream Foundation.

All of that, PLUS: More of Brian Tyler's score from "John Dies at the End;" further into the latest albums from Atriarch, Killing Joke, and Light Asylum (see their video here); one bitter tear over not getting to see Morrissey in concert; some great darkwave and deathrock from the vault, and much more!

For this episode, I spent a good deal of time in the vaults, collecting new sounds from forgotten sources, to go along with the sounds of this episode's new releases. There are many seamless matches to behold, if you ask me. The show begins with Lycia doing a Joy Division cover, taken from a rare tribute entitled Ceremonial, and many other obscurities are dropped in along the way.

Not to concentrate on obscurities, though. This weekend in Nashville, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds will be playing, so the first full set begins with one of my favorite live tracks, and one of their best-known hymns, done in a memorably aggressive manner. You can see the band's full tour dates here, to see if you're lucky enough.

One of my most anticipated releases of this year has been the physical version of The Night Watch EP, from Chicago's The Bellwether Syndicate. This new band combines the talents and taste of William Faith (Faith and the Muse, Christian Death, etc.) and DJ Scary Lady Sarah, among others, to emerge with a solid new face for post-punk/gothic rock, with a side of shoegaze. It was hard to pick which song to share first, but the lead track, "All Fire," is pure anthem, so prepare yourself to sing along.

Also new to the show are further cuts from the latest Grooving in Green album, Stranglehold, and the new Red Sun Revival album, Running From the Dawn. Both of these English acts provide updates to traditional goth rock sounds, and fly the proverbial flag with vigor. Speaking of vigor, New York City's Anasazi make their debut on this episode, with a dose of pure deathrock adrenaline, taken from their new Attic Noise EP.

In the industrial realm, you'll new music from Italian EBM/Industrial forefathers Pankow's latest, Shun the Cure They Most Desire, along with a taste of the newly reissued double-disc collection of cEvin Key & Dwayne Goettel's recordings as Doubting Thomas, entitled Infidel. Both are new from the Metropolis Records label.

Also from the Metropolis roster, I throw the spotlight on God Module's current tour with The Ludovico Technique, Mordacious, and Frontal Boundary, which will roll through Nashville next week, but you can see the full tour dates here to find the show nearest you. On the other side of the roster, Psyclon Nine's Nero Bellum makes a guest appearance on a new track from Dawn of Ashes, on the verge of both bands releasing new albums this year.

All of that, PLUS: Brian Tyler's score from the new Don Coscarelli film, "John Dies at the End;" more new sounds from Finland's Beastmilk; the overdue introduction of Portland's The Estranged to the show; more unexpected soundtrack selections, and further reaches into the deathrock, post-punk, and odd-music vaults.

This episode begins with a new B-side from London's Ulterior. "Arabella" was given away as a bonus track to those who helped launch the new album through the band's PledgeMusic drive. Unlike a lot of extras and bonus tracks, it's every bit as good as the material found on the band's new album, The Bleach Room.

Two seemingly unrelated pieces came together to inspire my next move, which was a dip backwards into the folk realms of the 1960s. It's not an area I often travel to on this show, but with legendary psychdelic '60s band The Zombies playing in my town next week, my head has been soaked in such sounds a lot as of late. Then, along came the desire to share some of the Simon-and-Garfunkel-esque, more contemporary sounds of In Gowan Ring, and a pairing was born. Kicking the first set off this way may be a curve-ball for some, but never fear. It gets traditional from that point on.

Speaking of traditional sounds, for those in search of new, yet traditional, gothic rock sounds, Baltimore's The Drowning Season may help fill that void. The band's new EP, Tomorrow's Gone features a heavy dose of 'Nephilim and Sisters' influence, and it's available for your inspection on their Bandcamp site, here.

This weekend in Nashville, we gather to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of our longest-running Gothic/Industrial night, +SALVATION+, where I've been DJing for most of those years. As I prepared for the event, poring over music choices and tons of old photos, I decided to do a musical retrospective, highlighting the music that was played in the clubs, and on this show, ten years ago. Listen for two sets based in 2003, the first focusing on goth, post-punk, and darkwave, and the second on electro-goth, industrial, and (Terror)EBM.

Speaking of 10 year anniversaries, God Module's Empath album, their second release, turns 10 this year as well. In honor of that, the band has reissued the album with a newly revamped  bonus track that you'll hear on this episode. They're also mounting a tour in honor of that anniversary. See the dates here.

All of that, plus: Two new & different faces of the current doom scene, a track deeper into the new album from The Twilight Garden, obscure film score music rescued from a crackled print, another historically great band with a profoundly confusing name, and more...
