Welcome to the 2025 edition of the Out ov the Coffin "Compilation for the Dead" -- a tribute to the golden age of themed compilation CDs, back in the pre-internet '90s, when the only way you were going to learn about new dark music was in a store, a club, or a friend's collection. If you were lucky, you would find a compilation that promised a certain overall style, so you could check out a whole slate of fresh bands at once and take notes on the full albums you needed to hunt down from then on.
Old school, yes, but such CD samplers were so helpful to me, and many others like me, when we were first getting into this kind of music, so consider this a modern update with that same goal in mind -- and if this compilation works that way for you, I consider it a success, and that's why I do one of these episodes each September.

Unlike most episodes, this one is designed to play through without talk breaks (once you get past the intro), so you can throw it on and focus on this season's crop of new and current dark bands that I think people should know about. It's also a good introduction to what the show is about for any newcomers -- or a digest of the current harvest for longtime listeners.
As always, this year's mix features some never-before-featured music, including the latest from original-wave deathrockers Altar de Fey, Chicago newcomers Fantasma Negra, UK newcomers Black Rain, Polish black-industrial act Saint Vengeur, Ukrainian romantic black metal act Selvnatt, and Dutch dark-folk collective Sowulo, alongside deeper cuts from recently featured releases and more!
Each artist's name in the playlist below links to a site for buying their music or learning more (usually a Bandcamp link), and next to each band name is their country of origin, for the curious.
If this is your first episode of Out ov the Coffin, the regular episodes happen once a month, taking the form of a traditional, hosted 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, film scores, dark metal, and beyond.
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. Look for that one as the veil draws thinner...
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
