EPISODE NOTES & HIGHLIGHTS:
This month's episode begins by marking the 40th anniversary of the release of the first Siouxsie & the Banshees album, "The Scream" -- which none may cast doubt upon, as Siouxsie and the boys went on to become one of the most influential acts in goth, post-punk, deathrock, new wave, '80s pop, and, well, music and culture in general, really. 40 years on, and their influence is still as strong as ever, in fact.
The first full set begins, at long last, with a taste of the first full length from Virginia's favorite post-punk sons, Shadow Age, whose self-titled album dropped a couple of months ago. From there, we hear a second call from The Voice of an Idiot Ghost EP by newcomers U.S. Grave, before catching up with Italy's Der Himmel Über Berlin, who contributed a track to Venus Aeon's new REBIRTH compilation, showcasing this decade's revival of goth rock and related genres. We then settle in for a whiskey soaked second act, featuring new music from Portland's Murderbait, conjuring some Nick Cave vibes that slide nicely into a second sip of Aelter's latest release, One. The set rounds out in suitably melancholy fashion with a selection from The Twilight Garden, going back to their 2012 release, Hope.
The second set kicks off with new music from France's Rendez-Vous, whose follow up to the much-lauded electro post-punk banger of an EP, Distance, is now here, entitled Superior State. Staying in France for the next song, we get a first look at Night Train to Nowhere's new post-punk exhibit, the stylishly-named Pictures At A Damnation, which is followed by a visit from San Francisco's almost Am/Rep-leaning post-punk act, The Tunnel, from their new Exoskeletal EP. Back to France, and back in time to the year 1988, we get a vault classic from Asylum Party, before coming back to the modern world with newly-formed international act, Terremoto, featuring members of both Crimson Scarlet and Masses on their collaborative post-punk/wave-pop crossover EP, The Bridge. New music from one of my personal favorites in recent years, UK act FEHM, closes this set, with the a-side of their new single, Scarborough Warning/The Sea To Come.
Set three begins with even more new French music -- which is not a theme, but France is really churning out some good music right now -- this time from FTR ("future"), with their electro-post-punk-wave (?) single, June. Eric Vain returns to the show next with music from his brand new EP, Black Lung, followed by a 20-year-old club classic from EBM act Evil's Toy, just for the fun of looking back. Another taste of the new self-titled album from Chicago's Panic Priest comes next, and then newcomers Spire Circle from Seattle have the honor of rounding out this more electronic-leaning set with a new single, "Narrow Stereo Field."

Set four begins the dark metal portion of this episode with brand new music from the curious Englishmen known as A Forest of Stars. Sure to appeal to fans of Garm's time with many eccentric metal acts (Arcturus, Ulver, Borknagar), their new album is entitled Grave Mounds and Grave Mistakes. Austria's The Negative Bias take the stage next, with an overdue selection from last year's Lamentation of the Chaos Omega, before this set of extended extremities concludes with a third measure of music from Drudkh's new album, Їм часто сниться капіж (They Often See Dreams About the Spring). After visiting Hill House for a moment during the last talk break, things feel sad enough to close with something from Skepticism's newly-relastered 1995 funeral doom opus, Stormcrowfleet.
All of that PLUS: New synthwave/horror music from Nashville's own Night Machine; A surprising classical instrumental from the new VNV Nation album, Noire; New and old cvlt soundtrack work for the two holidays most recently in our rearview; and more!
