As with everything this year, the Out ov the Coffin: Compilation for the Dead 2020 is a strictly virtual affair. This special, annual episode of the show always coincides with Dragon Con, and since the convention has gone virtual this year, I decided to follow suit and keep this tradition alive online, too. If you don't know what Dragon Con is, think of it as the Comicon of the Southeast, but more fan-driven, held every year in Atlanta Georgia on Labor Day Weekend. Comics, Fantasy, Horror, Music, Gaming, TV, Film, and even panels about Goth, which is where this compilation comes in -- but more on that in a minute. If you want to tune into this year's virtual Dragon Con, running 24 hours throughout the holiday weekend, follow this link:
What is this "Compilation for the Dead," though? Well, it's something of a tribute to those goth compilation CDs that were so helpful to me when I first got into this kind of music in the '90s. It's designed to play through without talk breaks, so you can focus on this season's crop of new, current, and returning dark artists that I think people should know about. It's also a good intro to what the show is about, for any newcomers.
I started the "Compilation for the Dead" series back in 2007, after attending Dragon Con for a couple of years, where I would always have conversations between panels about the state of goth music, the health of the scene, and if there were any good bands still putting "this kind" of music out. My answer to the last question was always an emphatic "YES," but in order to put my money where my mouth was, I decided to create some proof.
"I made you a mixtape...."
So, each year I choose an album's worth of strictly new and current music to represent this podcast, my DJing style, and, most importantly, the current state of goth & the wider dark music scene as I see it.
If this is your first episode of Out ov the Coffin, the regular episodes happen once a month, taking the form of a traditional radio show, with an emphasis on new music -- but also including classics from the vault, episodic themes, and further cuts into current albums in the realms of: Goth, post-punk, deathrock, darkwave, coldwave, industrial, film scores, dark metal, and more. The next one in line will actually be another special edition, October's traditional Halloween Special, which is both a personal and listener favorite each year.
Until then, if you're new here, I encourage you to check out some of the previous episodes (here or here), and to follow the show on Facebook and Instagram.
Thanks,
Ichabod
