PODCAST: September 22nd, 2011

[DOWNLOAD this episode (128k mp3)]

It's hard to believe, but for the first time ever, I was able to try something that I've wanted to do since I first started this radio show. I recorded this episode outside. And what better time of the year than on the very first day of Autumn? As a result, you may notice that the talk breaks sound just a bit different, but the overall effect of the wind, the night and the chill in the air was great.

The main part of the show begins with a themed group of songs to welcome the onset of Autumn, as it is the most wonderful time of the year (regardless of how that one song goes). My next goal will be to record a show while outside in a snowstorm...

This Sunday night in Nashville, Bella Morte, The Ludovico Technique, and Cryogen Second will be playing at The Rutledge. In honor of this, all three bands are featured in a special set, which includes a brand new track from Bella Morte's latest album, Before the Flood. For those who aren't in Nashville (and that's plenty of you), the rest of their tour dates can be seen here. Go see them and tell them I sent you.

In that same set you'll hear brand new music from Ladytron. They will be the subject of a Bonus CD Release party at the Bella Morte show. We'll have posters and copies of their brand new CD Gravity the Seducer to give away that night. And if you need one more reason to attend, I'll be the live DJ before, between, and after the bands. Maybe I will see you there?

Also new to the show this week: Music from German/Norwegian hybrid, Thornfields, a collaboration between Ghostfog and Liquid Grey, whose newly released album is entitled The Desert. We also delve a bit deeper into the latest releases from Diary of Dreams and God Module.

On the heavier end of the spectrum, you'll hear music from Thrall's latest CD, Vermin to the Earth, and a 16-minute opus from the new Rwake (pronounced "wake") album, Rest, which will soon be released on Relapse Records.

All of the above, plus: Classic goth, industrial, and deathrock, one of my favorite opening songs of all time, and a spotlight on next week's Nashville appearance of Opeth and Katatonia, at the Cannery on September 28th. Check out these dates to see if they'll be hitting your town.

PODCAST: September 15th, 2011

[DOWNLOAD this episode (128k mp3)]

Fall is in the air, which means many of us are just waking up from a summertime hibernation of sorts. This may explain why I came to the table with far more music picked out this week than I usually do, but it's not like that's a bad thing. It just means you'll get an extra set on this episode.

New to the show this week? The brand new Diary of Dreams album, "Ego:X," has now been released, and (as always) it does not disappoint. As usual, the new album is offered in several different varieties, including vinyl, for the collectors among us. Find those options here
or here.

Also out this week: "Séance," the new full-length album from everyone's favorite Horror Industrial/Black Electro/Murder Wave band, God Module. For this episode, I chose a song that features recently added second vocalist, Clint Carney (System Syn, Imperative Reaction, Fake), who will be joining the band on their upcoming Triptych Tour, where he will be performing with all 3 acts! You can pick your version of "Séance" right here.

Joining God Module on the Trytpich Tour will be System Syn and Imperative Reaction, who also unleashed their latest album this week. The self-titled collection sees the band experimenting with their sound a bit, which is something I very much appreciate in the current industrial scene. A fresh approach or two is not only welcome, but needed. As you may have guessed, there are several ways to get their latest album as well, some of them limited. Find them all here.

Finally, in the dark metal section, Washington's Wolves in the Throne Room have just released "Celestial Lineage," through Southern Lord Records. The band will be on tour this month, even hitting Nashville this coming Wednesday, the 21st, at Little Hamilton. Details on that all-ages show can be found here.

Also on the show this week: A nod to this Saturday's SWANS show in Nashville, a bit of a dreamy opening set, a sweeping deathrock/gothpunk set, a trip through the weirdness of Transylvania on the way out, and (of corpse) much more.
