EPISODE NOTES & HIGHLIGHTS:
The first full set begins with new music from Delphine Coma, whose new single/EP, Secondary Eyes, continues the quality darkwave we came to know on 2018's Leaving the Scene. Following that, we dive deeper into Here Lies, the latest from Florida's Astari Nite, who have also launched a new video for the track "Leave the Winter on the Ground." Fearing arrives next, with a Slowdive-esque deep cut from their latest, Shadow, before checking out new music from UK act Black Angel -- which is the first of two tracks on this episode taken from the new Venus Aeon compilation, “Blood and Dust: A Gothic Western.” A fitting, vampy new single from California's Former Humans comes next, sliding nicely into a classic from Mummy Calls, taken from the soundtrack to the 1987 classic "The Lost Boys." Sadly, this song and the score music that lines the next talk break were played in memory of director Joel Schumacher, who died this week at the age of 80. The next two talk breaks also feature score music from some of my favorite films that he directed (notable, "8MM" and "Flatliners").
Set two begins by jumping to the end of the new Horror Vacui LP, Living for Nothing, for a second taste, before continuing the deathrock vibes with a 20th-anniversary selection from the first, self-titled Cinema Strange album. It's hard to believe it's been that long. Anders Manga summons the airwaves next, with a curious selection from his new Andromeda album. As it happens, I originally played this song back in October, but it had been released under a different band name (Coffin Moth), in a slightly different form. I guess we now know who was behind that project. We then dive into the vaults for some classic '90s goth from Screams for Tina, and some recently re-released material from UK act The Vanishing Point, the latter of which saw a new vinyl release this year, of their 1985 material, courtesy of Old Skull Records. New goth rock from Sensorium UK (featuring an ex-member of The Nefilim) comes next, followed by some current Russian post-punk from buzzworthy band Ploho. Check out the video for their song here.
Set three begins with the return of California's System Syn. Once Upon a Second Act sees Clint Carney regaining his momentum from seven years ago, and retaining his ability to place confessional lyrics over a mixture of danceable beats and more introspective musical laments. The piano intro of Shock Therapy's "Hate is a 4 Letter Word" transitions us nicely into the vaults of 1985 again, but just for a few moments, as a new track from Hante.'s new remix (and more) album brings us back to the present. Connecticut's Grandeur make their 'Coffin debut next, with a catchy electronic post-punk single, "Emancipation Day." After a '90s classic from Sunshine Blind, we close the set with Sonsombre's cover of the Fields of the Nephilim classic, "Slow Kill," which also appears on the aforementioned compilation,
“Blood and Dust: A Gothic Western.”
The dark metal set begins by marking the 30th anniversary of Danzig's landmark 1990 album, Lucifuge. Mastermind, frontman, and horror rock legend Glenn Danzig, as it happens, celebrated his 65th birthday this week, too. Woah! Beyond that, we slide into a lot of new black metal offerings, first from Quebec's Sombre Héritage, with the opening track from their new Alpha Ursae Minoris album. Finland's October Falls makes their debut next, with a lengthy cut from A Fall of an Epoch, followed closely by the title track from In Asylum Requiem, the latest from UK act Shadowflag. Finally, the metal draws to a close with a selection from our second French-Canadaian act of the night, Monarque, taken from their 2019 release, Jusqu'à La Mort.
All of that PLUS: New dark ambient music from Poland's Marla Van Horn; Selections from the cult soundtrack anniversary vault; and more!
