EPISODE NOTES & HIGHLIGHTS:
It feels as though it's been longer than a month since the last full episode, but travel, and all the good that it can bring, will do that to you. It is finally autumn, and it's good to be back. This episode begins with a small salute to the 30th anniversary of The Chameleons' classic album, Strange Times, before turning its attention to the pile of new music that has amassed since last we spoke...
First up in the realm of new music is Garden of Mary from Dallas, Texas, with a somber selection from their EP, The Agony In Memory. After that, we move to new music from another act celebrating 30 years right now, Black Tape for a Blue Girl, with the lead single from their new album, These Fleeting Moments, which sees the band reunited with original vocalist Oscar Herrera. After a couple of selections from the goth vaults, and one request, we slide into a new song from ROME's latest, The Hyperion Machine, which some have called the project's most rock-based album to date -- to that, I say: Seek out Jerome Reuter's old band, Mack Murphy & the Inmates, and you'll see how his roots make sense of it all. Finally, the set rounds out with a deeper selection from the the Rendez-Vous album, Distance.
The second full set begins with brand mew music from Detroit's acclaimed Ritual Howls, whose new album Into the Water was released into the wild just before my mad travels began. We then go one (great) track deeper into the latest album from All Your Sisters, before stepping things up further with some catchy new goth-punk from Australia's Death Church. Next up is a new song from New York's Pawns, taken from their recent split EP with Chicago's Cemetery. After a visit to the Japanese deathrock vaults with The Execute, we get a further taste of fresh post-punk from Portland's Spirit Host, before topping the set off with a Cocteau Twins classic.
The third set begins with new music from Italy's Der Himmel Über Berlin, who came to my attention via a compilation from Venus Aeon Recordings entitled Vampyre. We then take a retro-flight with A Flock of Seagulls to continue the good fight against anyone who considers them a one-song band (shame on you). Our heroes in Ego Likeness sneak in just behind, with one of my recent favorites, "-geist," which has resurfaced on their new The Compass EPs collection. The 2-disc set gathers their out-of-print North, South, East, and West EPs, just in time to back the the band's forthcoming tour dates.
The set continues with new music from Nashville's own HR_Lexy, whose new album Slave to the Light will see said light next month. Following that, what I believe is the first band from Liechtenstein to ever appear on Out ov the Coffin, Evren Svren, gives you a taste his new album, Yolun Sonundaki Sahte Işık. Denver's Tollund Men, round out this fairly varied darkwave set with a deeper cut from their new Autoerotik cassette.

The final set turns its attention, as I have in recent weeks, to my mid-'90s dive into the realms of black metal, pulling out several certified classics from various shades of that spectrum. Not to be stuck in the past, though, the set begins with brand new music from Ukraine's Drudkh, taken from their new split (with Grift), entitled Betrayed By The Sun/Hägringar. Finally, the show closes with on a related note, with something from the romantic doom era (fight me), as momentarily made proud by my semi-annual nostalgia-targets, Celestial Season.
* Side note: On the way out, I gave a brief plug for the "A Strange Day Post-punk Festival" 2017 next year in Olympia, Washington (starring ChameleonsVox), so here's that link to purchase early-bird tickets (while they last).
All of that, PLUS: Deeper soundtrack selections from recently-noteworthy visual-pieces; Selections from the new romantic, darkwave, goth, and 1979-cult-film-classics vaults; and more!
