Here it is! This year's "Out ov the Coffin" Halloween Special, clocking in at its longest running time yet -- just over four hours! My honorary "co-ghost" for this year is Samhain (pictured above), who may have been a minor character from "The Real Ghostbusters" cartoon in the '80s, but his influence can be heard all across this episode.

What to expect in your treat bag this time? A generous handful of traditional Halloween classicks, recently deceased newcomers to the Halloween circuit, plenty of spooky selections from the very back on the 'Coffin's vaults, bloody splashes of film dialogue, soundtracks, movie trailers, old-time radio spots, and even some brand new entries for this episode from Bella Morte and Velvet Acid Christ. PLUS, in addition to a 3-hour traditional Halloween special, I've included a "hair-rasing" bonus hour at the end.

The sets are divided according to style, with a Goth set, a Deathrock/Horror Rock set, an Industrial/Darkwave set, a Dark Metal set, and finally, the bonus '80s "Scare" Metal salute. Yes, a Halloween-themed look back at classic '80s horror, as seen through the eyes of a pre-teen, hair-metal-obsessed Ichabod. I put that one at the end so some of you could skip it -- but why would you want to? It's the trick to balance all of those treats.

The full playlist is below. It's very detailed, listing all of the various dialogue samples, movie trailers, songs, and other sounds -- with links! The talk breaks are marked, too.

Only two more weeks remain until the annual "Out ov the Coffin" Halloween Special hits the internet. Mark your calendars for October 19th to make sure you "grave" the date. In the meantime, please enjoy this brand new episode, featuring a host of new talent and further glimpses into the latest goth, post-punk, industrial, and dark metal releases.

From the UK, this episode sees the debut of Red Sun Revival, a band quite reminiscent of Fields of the Nephilim. Of course, their album, Running from the Dawn, was produced by Steve Carey of The Eden House -- which contains members of FOTN -- so that makes sense. Meanwhile, Canada's The Silence Industry have returned with The Maw of Sleep (stream it here), once again bringing noticeably aggressive drumming to an atmospheric goth rock landscape that would otherwise be reminiscent of older Bella Morte or Machinegun Symphony.

Also new to the show this time: Belgrado, out of Barcelona Spain, whose high-energy approach to post-punk/deathrock is sure to please fans of Xmal Deutschland, older Killing Joke, or New Days Delay. Their self-titled debut can be heard (and acquired for free) right here. And for the dark metal fans, Minneapolis, Minnesota's False make their debut on the show with their track from the just-released Barghest/False split LP through Gilead Media. Stream it here; order it here.

Returning with deeper cuts into their latest releases on this show are: Philadelphia's Night Sins who give us another taste of their New Grave EP (available for free here); an impressively catchy new song from The Ludovico Technique's Some Things Are Beyond Therapy, which is quickly shaping up to be among my favorite industrial releases of the year; and Velvet Acid Christ, who have released a second brand new video from their new CD, Maldire, which I will just go ahead and embed here:

All of that, PLUS: We'll reach way back for some mid-'70s roots selections, spend a couple of songs in the Autumnal fields of mid '90s gothic doom, revisit some obscurities from the vaults, and float for a moment in several atmospheric stops along the way.

With all of the traveling and special editions I've done lately, it's been a little over a month since the last new traditional episode came out -- which means that this one is absolutely loaded down with new sounds. So, here's what you're about to hear:

The fresh blood begins with the new radio single from Dead Can Dance, whose Anastasis album has now been officially released in a variety of packaging options. Ego Likeness follows closely with another great track from their East EP, this one being the first of two covers of Sting's music that will appear on this episode, both for the first time. The second cover appears later in the show, from Italy's The Foreshadowing, who recreate one of Sting's first solo compositions in a doom metal framework, taken from their latest LP, Oionos.

A pair of brand new arrivals help to fly the post-punk flag on this episode. Philadelphia's Night Sins give us a taste of their Sisters-soaked New Grave EP (available for free here), and Dreams In Hell show us the harder edge of dark punk with a track from their Chiroptophobia release, which the band has made available for free right here. Incidentally, they list their home town as 'Cicncylvania,' which won me over right away. Additionally, it seems that they're doing some shows this Fall with Calabrese, who also have a new track featured on this show.

Continuing on the heavier side of the post-punk fence, you'll hear further new songs from Finland's Beastmilk, taken from their Use Your Deluge EP, and from Portland's Atriarch, who are about to release a new full-length on Profound Lore Records (coming soon!). To keep your appetite whet for their infectious deathrock/apocalyptic-metal hybrid, this episode features "Offerings," their second track from their recent split release with Alaric. If you loved their song "Oblivion" on the Compilation for the Dead 2012 like I did, you'll want more, and now you'll get more.

For the industrial fans, this Fall's release schedule is shaping up nicely. You'll hear tracks from the brand new Velvet Acid Christ CD, Maldire, which has birthed a video already (see it here) that follows the album's theme of retribution for history's persecution of those who were believed to practice witchcraft. You'll also hear an advance cut from The Ludovico Technique's much-anticipated forthcoming album Some Things Are Beyond Therapy. The single "Wired for Destruction" is available as a free teaser right here. If you like it, share it to help them spread the word.

Also on the show: Another taste of The Cruxshadows latest, As the Dark Against My Halo; some experimental work from Miss Mousie & the Rigamarole, which features Valerie Meiss (of Hellblinki fame); and an excerpt from the new Agalloch EP, Faustian Echoes, which is comprised of a single track, making it the band's longest song to date.

All that, PLUS: A spotlight on this weekend's "Phantasm" cast reunion in Chattanooga (more info here); never before aired tracks from Brighter Fires and ROME; soundtrack work from Marco Beltrami's "The Woman In Black" and Imran Ahmad's "The Dead;" and several visits to vaults for some classicks to round the episode out.

Out ov the Coffin: September 21st, 2012 by Out Ov The Coffin on Mixcloud

[STREAM this episode (on Mixcloud)]
(or scroll to the bottom to stream it here)

The last episode was all about Dragon*Con, which no doubt left more than a few people feeling a bit left out. So, in lieu of a traditional episode upon my return, I thought I would offer people a chance to hear what they might have missed.

Every year since 2007, I've hand-crafted a limited batch of compilations to give away at the convention, partly to give people a taste of what "Out ov the Coffin" is like -- and, most importantly, to fly the flag for current goth & dark music that people may not be hearing. It's gotten more and more popular each year, which resulted in all available copies being snapped up before the Con was even through its second day.

So, for those that couldn't attend the con -- or for those who just didn't get a copy while supplies lasted -- this podcast encapsulates the contents of the Out ov the Coffin "Compilation for the Dead 2012." It evens features two bands never heard on the show before: Finland's Beastmilk, who turn in a Jim Morrison-soaked take on the heavier end of post-punk, and Portland Oregon's Atriarch, who offer a vital link between classic deathrock and current metal. Plus: Brand new material from Worm Ouroboros, taken from their new release, "Come the Thaw."

For those who just found out about this podcast at Dragon*Con this year, I welcome you aboard. The next brand new episode will launch on Friday, September 21st, featuring loads of new music that I've gathered in my recent travels. In the meantime, if you're new to this show, I encourage you to check out some of the previous episodes (here), and to follow the show on Facebook.
Thanks,
Ichabod

Dragon*Con, Dragon*Con, Dragon*Con!!!

This episode is all about Dragon*Con, THE massive Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Comic Book, Horror, Pop-Culture, Film, Television, Music, Art, and everything-else-that's-cool convention that's held in Atlanta, Georgia every Labor Day Weekend (which means it's getting started next week!). They also happen to feature a number of concerts from Darkwave, Industrial, and Goth bands, which is how I was first drawn into the fold back in 2005. 

This episode features sounds and songs entirely related-to and inspired-by guests that will be appearing at the convention, fan panels that will be held at the convention, and bands that will be performing live -- including brand new releases from The Cruxshadows and Ego Likeness.

Currently, I serve as the Assistant Track Director for the Horror & Dark Fantasy Track, so there are many references to the panels, guests, and topics we have in our rooms this year (see our full schedule HERE), but my Dragon*Con coverage is not limited to just what we're doing. My interests are varied (scattered?), and this episode goes all over the map of Geekdom, as one might call it: Horror, Comics, Sci-Fi, Cartoons, Dark & Weird Music, etc.

On the playlist below, you will find not only the list of everything played on this podcast, along with links to each artist featured, but you will also find my notes on where to catch each related guest or performer at the convention (in small print below each name) -- because, well, I'm here to help. Of course, you'll want to check the Official Program Guide to make sure of these times, or install one of their many Smartphone Apps (for Android, iPhone, or Other devices).

If this podcast serves its purpose, it will turn you on to some attractions at Dragon*Con that you might not have considered. Failing that, it should at least get you as excited to hurry up and get there as I am right now. So, grab this episode and listen to it on the ride down, or stream it while you're packing up your costumes, and I'll see you at the Con!

NOTE:  This podcast is independently produced, and not officially endorsed by Dragon*Con. 'Nuff said.

Also: If you're wondering what panels I will be moderating this year, here's the list:

• Friday 1pm: "An Hour with the Cruxshadows" [Embassy A+B]
• Friday 7pm: "State of the Goth Scene 2012"  [Embassy A+B]
• Saturday 1pm: "Meet the Bands: Spooky Music" (w/ Voltaire, Calabrese) [Embassy A+B]
• Saturday 8:30pm: "Hammer Horror"  [Embassy A+B]
• Sunday 1pm: "David Lynch: Inside the Black Lodge" [Embassy A+B] *(panelist)
• Sunday 7pm: "Meet the Bands: Darkwave/Industrial" (w/ Die Sektor, I:Scintilla, Ego Likeness) [Embassy C]

NOTE: The Horror & Dark Fantasy Track panels will be in the same rooms this year, but they have new names. What was called 'Montreal Vancouver' is now Embassy A+B, and 'Cairo' is now Embassy C (both in the Hyatt).

Out ov the Coffin: August 24th, 2012 - Road to Dragon*Con Special by Out Ov The Coffin on Mixcloud

Cult Fiction Underground w/ DJ Ichabod: What's Next and What to Expect on August 25th

Coming up this Saturday night (August 25th), for those in the Nashville area, is the third installment of "Cult Fiction Underground with DJ Ichabod." It's a new monthly event that pairs cult films -- from the world of atmospheric horror and exploitation -- with cult music, in the form of goth, deathrock, post-punk, darkwave, and horror soundtracks.

So, for those that love the first hour of "Out ov the Coffin," it's as though I'm broadcasting it live from a dark, '70s underground bar, after we've all just watched a cult horror movie in the adjoining theatre. Sounds like your style? Here's the flyer & a link to the Facebook event page, so you can join the cult, too:

[Facebook Event Page: http://www.facebook.com/events/362066423874342/ ]

This month's event will start with Jess (Jesus) Franco's most celebrated film, "Vampyros Lesbos," a 1971 journey into atmospheric 'vampsloitation,' featuring a soundtrack that took on a life of its own. Here's the trailer [in German & Not safe for work!], to put you in the mood:

To keep things going as soon as the credits roll, you'll be treated to a mix of dark music & horror soundtrack clips, while you hang out with the other like-minded cult fiction fans and have a beer or five. To give you an idea of precisely what type of music will be played, here's what was played last month.

See you in the Undergound!

PODCAST: August 10th, 2012

[STREAM this episode (on Mixcloud)]
(or scroll to the bottom to stream it here)

This episode begins with new music from Brooklyn, New York's Light Asylum, whose full length debut Light Asylum proves to be another great showcase for singer Shannon Funchess' ever-impressive, deep, powerful, dramatic -- and even operatic -- voice, which takes their '80s-steeped electro/darkwave music into many new dark and danceable arenas.

Speaking of singing to impress: Amidst news of vocalist Jaz Coleman's apparent and confusing disappearance this week, you'll hear music from Killing Joke's new album, MMXII. It's another solid release, loaded with their signature atmosphere, biting lyrical content, and, of course, Jaz's soaring -- and sometimes absolutely serrated -- voice.

Earlier this week, Germany's afmusic offered up a free, 63-track retrospective of the many genres of music they've been releasing up to this point, offering fans of goth, darkwave, post-punk, and many other styles a whole lot of sounds to check out. Three selections are featured on this episode (from Amada, The Foreign Resort, and M!R!M), but you can grab the whole collection right here.

Also featured on this episode: New mid-paced doom/dark metal from Italy's The Foreshadowing, who return this month with a new album entitled Second World; fresh experimentation from Chicago's Locrian, who also return with a new release this month, entitled The Clearing & Final Epoch; and even some newly released live material from Loss, recorded at March's Scion A/V showcase for Profound Lore Records. That whole live compilation (also featuring Pallbearer, Wolvhammer, The Atlas Moth, and Yob) can be downloaded for Free right here.

All of that, plus: New horror-inspired alternate soundtrack music from France's Neon Rain (who seem to have some interesting mixtapes available); a whole set of new and classic material for the goth-punks among us; another musical trip to Nolan's Batcave; and more -- for a total of two and a half hours of current and classic dark music.
