Having just visited NYC, Philly, and much of my home state of New Jersey, I come to this show armed with some brand new things, and many overdue acquisitions that I picked up along the way -- in addition to a fresh coat of love for that area of the country -- but that's another story, for another time.

Under the strange name of .com/kill, the two core members of Diary of Dreams, Adrian Hates and Gaun:A, have just released a self-titled album of slightly more experimental industrial/darkwave -- which, for all intents and purposes, is rather close in sound to a new Diary of Dreams album. Consider that a good thing, of course. Meanwhile, their erstwhile collaborators and tour-mates in Diorama have re-emerged with a new album called Even the Devil Doesn't Care, from which you'll hear a selection.

A pair of overdue 7-inches make their debut on the show this time. First, the unexpected collaboration of the one and only David Lynch and the stellar talent of Zola Jesus, as heard on the b-side of her single, In Your Nature. Then, the b-side of the Unsound EP, from Richmond, Virginia peace-punk/goth band Lost Tribe finally makes an appearance on the show.

This episode also highlights the re-issue of a pair of once-obscure and out-of-print collections from the darkest side. Akhkharu's Celebratum collects the group's 1995 and 1996 cassette releases of ritual dark ambient landscapes, while Finnish black metal act Sargeist's The Rebirth of a Cursed Existence compiles on CD all of the band's material that was previously available solely on vinyl, tape or compilation releases.

While we're in the dark metal portion of the show, you'll hear brand new music from Canada's Monarque, whose album Lys Noir should help take you back to the classic atmospheric black metal golden age of the '90s. You'll also get a taste of the latest album from Salem, Oregon's Hell, entitled Hell III, and another dose of of the new Summoning album, Old Mornings Dawn, because it's just that good.

You'll hear all of that, PLUS: Deeper cuts from the latest Bloody Dead and Sexy, Savages, and salvation AMP albums; some more overdue local music from Sky Burial on the verge of their last show in Nashville as a local band; More cool tour news from Velvet Acid Christ; some more obscurities pulled from the goth vault; and much more...

This episode begins with a birthday nod to the Gothfather himself, Peter Murphy, who celebrated his 56th (if you can believe that) on the 11th. We then move into the pile of new music that has gathered since the last show, beginning with San Francisco's Lux Interna, whose latest expansion of dark americana/neo-folk, There is Light in the Body, There is Blood in the Sun, has just arrived on the Pesanta Urfolk label.

Meanwhile, in Virginia, Bella Morte has just released their first "Best Of" collection, courtesy of Metropolis Records (get it here). Unique to this collection is a brand new recording of one of their earliest compositions, "Evensong." This new version, which you'll hear on this episode, finds founding member Gopal Metro on bass, marking his first recording with the band since 2006's Bleed the Grey Sky Black. If that didn't make fans curious enough about his potential return to the fold, Gopal is set to play his first live show with the band in over 5 years on August 3rd. We'll see what the future holds...

In the industrial realm, you'll get a taste of the new Front Line Assembly album, Echogenetic, which seems to be dividing some fans over its use of dubstep sounds. I'll let you decide -- but before you figure that out, you'll be hit with another new track from Chiildren, taken from their The Other People album, which sees the band "fusing grim metal and droning electronics."

Speaking of grim metal, you'll hear two brand new atmospheric black metal releases from Sepulchral Recordings, both of which feature former members of Canada's Miserere Luminis. First up is Sombres Forêts, from their new album La Mort du Soleil, followed by a taste of the new Gris album, À l'Âme Enflammée, l'Äme Constellée… And, as if those aren't grim enough, you'll get another taste of Old Mornings Dawn, from Austria's legendary Tolkien-worshippers, Summoning.

In the dark ambient realm, you'll hear a premiere from Chile's Solifugae, taken from the oft-heard Kalpamantra collection, Apogee. And, closing the show this time, almost 14 minutes of brand new music from Finnish psychedelic folk-rock band, Hexvessel, taken from their new album Iron Marsh.

You'll hear all of that, PLUS: Deeper cuts from the latest Night Sins, The Bellwether Syndicate, The Twilight Garden, and Anasazi releases; Some post-birthday music from Fabio Frizzi that also coincides with a Nashville screening of the Fulci classic "Zombie;" Info about the upcoming tours from Die Sektor, Gary Numan, and The Cult; selections from the goth, post-punk, and deathrock vaults; and much more...

Out ov the Coffin: July 12th, 2013 by Out Ov The Coffin on Mixcloud

New club night in Nashville: Fascination Street

For those in the Nashville area (or those willing to travel), this Saturday night (July 6th) brings the first edition of my brand new dance/club event, Fascination Street. The focus for this night is on current and classic permutations of post-punk, deathrock, darkwave, and traditional goth music. The goal is to bridge the gap between the sounds that the goth scene was built on, and the bands that have picked up that torch, run with it, or used its fire to expand our horizons ever since.

For listeners of "Out ov the Coffin," you can expect a mix of music not unlike the first hour or so of each podcast, choosing the songs that make people move, but without getting into the techno/ebm/trance realm. For those who want a deeper explanation, or some examples, check out some of the songs and requests that we and others have been posting on the Event Page, or the longer explanation of the idea behind the event on the Facebook Page.

FASCINATION STREET

Nashville, TN  37206
