Between this episode and the next, I'll have the distinct pleasure of seeing Peter Murphy perform an all-Bauhaus set in Atlanta. To celebrate that, this show begins with one of my personal favorite Bauhaus songs, "Silent Hedges." With any luck, I'll get to hear it live, as it seems to have popped up in the set at least once already on this tour.

Brand new to the show this time is a live track from one of the most promising of the current crop of Gothic Rock acts, the U.K.'s Terminal Gods. This one was recorded just one month ago, and it was (briefly) made available as a free track. You can currently get the whole concert as a bonus if you pick up their latest shirt.

Sweden's Principe Valiente are back with a new single, entitled "Take Me With You." You'll hear it on this episode, but you can grab one for yourself right here later on. Making his debut on this show is New Zealand's Paul Amlehn, an experimental artist of many disciplines whose forthcoming Blood of Union project features collaborations with a whole list of notables, in addition to featuring cover art by David Lynch himself.

Also making their debut on this episode is California's Crimson Scarlet, with a song from their self-titled 7-inch. They represent another exciting (dark) entry to the new wave of US deathrock, goth, and post-punk. Speaking of which, you'll hear yet another fresh track to the show from New York City's Anåsazi, this time taken from their 2012 demo cassette. Not to be outdone, Italy and the UK teamed up to bring us new music from Horror Vacui's In Darkness, You Will Feel Alright. Viva la Deathrock!

In the final segment of this episode, you'll hear brand new music from Nashville's own Alraune, whose just-released 2-track Demo Album Preview promises to keep those who have been waiting for a fresh spark in the occult/black metal scene talking for quite some time.

You'll hear all of that, PLUS: More new music from Roque Baños' score for the rebooted/remade Evil Dead film, Birthday wishes for both Robert Smith (The Cure) and David J. (Bauhaus), A love affair with '80s synth-based horror scores, baited breath for Room 237's dissection of The Shining, cult musical objects from the vault, and much more.

Sadly, between the last episode and this one, we lost another musician: Christopher David, vocalist/songwriter for Judith, as well as the former bassist for Requiem in White. This episode begins with a small tribute to him, and to his work, in the form of a song from each of those acts. I do not have much information on how he passed, but may he rest in peace.

R.I.P. Christopher David





















Brand new to the show for this episode is fresh post-punk from Russia's Twinmachine, whose new album Tomorrow That Never Was can be heard here. While you're in the post-punk mood, you'll also hear further new sounds from Vancouver's Spectres, whose Nothing to Nowhere album was first thrown in the spotlight on the last episode. For even more of the upbeat/aggressive side of new post-punk, you'll get another taste of New York City's Anåsazi, whose infectious sound has not left my speakers in recent weeks.

Also new to the show for this episode: Music from Roque Baños' score for the newly rebooted/remade Evil Dead film. Much has been said in favor of this version of the movie, and I liked it myself, but it was the music that struck me most, so you'll hear two selections from that album on this show.

For accuracy's sake, I must correct an error I made when speaking about Mute Angst Envy on this show. While their 1991 album Archetype/Trust stood as their only work for quite some time, it was not their only release. Many years later, in 2004, the band regrouped and released South 11th Street, which I will be sure to feature on a future episode, so the record can be set straight. Sometimes I speak too quickly on these shows (and sometimes, it's really, really late).

In addition to all of that, you'll also hear: Deeper cuts from the latest Ulterior and Saltillo albums; an early version of one of The Cure's classics; a fond look back at the mid-'90s heyday of classical (and sometimes even goth)-influenced dark crossover-metal; and more!
