Following a three-week tour of Europe with Loss that was filled with amazing concerts, unbelievable locations, significantly beautiful sights, and a great deal of sleep-deprivation, Out ov the Coffin returns in its new monthly format. What can I say? I'm simply not in one place long enough to record a show more often than that, at least for now.

This episode, colored explicitly by the influence of my travels across so many great countries, emerges at the tail-end of May, so it will serve as the June 2014 episode. I've followed a loose theme, gathering songs that relate to the shows we played, the bands we met, the landscapes we crossed, and the music that visited my head in those moments. I've also made this show extra-long and packed it with a great deal of brand new music.

This one begins with a birthday nod to Siouxsie Sioux, in the form of her collaboration with Morrissey, who just so happened to have celebrated his own birthday last week. The birthdays don't end there, and neither do the nods to dark music icons. Peter Murphy returns with the first single from his new Lion album on this episode.

The ever-prolific Legendary Pink Dots have issued several new items in the last few months, so we only begin to catch up with a selection from their limited vinyl release, The Curse of Marie Antoinette -- which I've packed with an older Edward Ka-spel piece that never fails to enchant. Why? Because we kept playing venues where the Dots had just performed, and it made me wish we'd arrived just a bit earlier.

One of the locations we did not have the privilege of arriving in whatsoever was Sweden -- home to many great acts, including Principe Valiente, who have just returned with their best work yet, in the form of Choirs of Blessed Youth. Look forward to a brand new track from them, and to hearing more from these guys in the future.

This episode also features new music from two heralded acts that we all thought were defunct. In a great turn of events, though, The Last Dance has started releasing new music again, two songs at a time, with the ultimate goal of a new full-length this fall. The lead singles, "Scars" and "Mesmerize" are available on iTunes and Soundcloud, respectively. Watch for another pair soon. Meanwhile, the former members of Veil Veil Vanish have re-emerged, slightly altered, in the form of Vaniish, who will release their new album Memory Work on Metropolis Records on June 10th.

In the dark-ambient/experimental-atmospheres realm, this episode features new music from San Francisco's Common Eider, King Eider, a collaboration between Trepaneringsritualen & Sutekh Hexen entitled One Hundred Year Storm, and fresh soundtrack work from Dominik Morgenroth, who also happens to be the bassist for our European tour-mates, the German funeral doom-legends Worship. As cool day jobs go, scoring for video games is pretty high on the list.

It's no surprise that the dark metal portion of this episode begins with a classic from Worship, going back to their earliest work, and highlighting one of my favorite parts of their live set each night. I watched them 14 nights in a row and never tired of hearing it. Beyond that, you'll hear a song from the new Profetus album, As All Seasons Die, followed by new music from one of the best support acts with whom we shared a stage -- in this case in Poland -- the avant-black metal band Outre, taken from their split with Thaw.

Speaking of sharing, I had the pleasure of sharing merch space with Alan from Primordial at Heavy Days in Doomtown in Copenhagen, where his new band Dread Sovereign were performing as well. The highlight of their set, for me, was a song called "We Wield the Spear of Longinus," taken from their new album All Hell's Martyrs, so you will hear that one on the way out.

All of that, plus: New Front Line Assembly remixed by Youth Code; Fresh soundtrack additions from Marco Beltrami's World War Z and Ryan Amon's Elysium; A triple birthday salute to three of horror's finest gentlemen: Peter Cushing, Vincent Price, and Christopher Lee; Selections from the vault of memory; and much more...

It's been a few weeks since the last show, and it will actually be about a month before the next episode arrives, so I've made this one extra-long to help bridge the gap. More about the reasons for that gap in a minute -- but for now, prepare yourselves for over 3 hours of music.

This episode begins with a slightly belated birthday wish for (the man, the myth, the legend) Robert Smith of The Cure, who celebrated his 55th earlier this week. In honor of that, you'll hear a pair of rarities (one live and one obscure) on the way in. Closely following that, the neo-folk fans who rarely get enough of that style here will revel in fresh sounds from New York's Blood and Sun, taken from their new album White Storms Fall.

Those lucky enough to find themselves in Chicago this weekend will be able to attend Convergence 20: First & Last & Always, celebrating 20 years(!) of the annual alt.gothic festival. This year's line-up includes The March Violets and the first-ever US show by UK-Goth-saviours Pretentious, Moi? -- both of whom you'll hear in this episode, in honor of the fact that I'd love to be there in person. But alas...

For the modern post-punk fans, you'll have several reasons to rejoice. First up is the Australian/German combo Ascetic:, who makes their debut here with a song from their Self-Initiation album. Next up is Florida's Astari Night, with a song from their new Stereo Waltz album, followed by Washington's Criminal Code, with an already popular dance track (here in Nashville, at least) from their No Device album.

We'll also dig a bit deeper in to the latest from Ottawa's goth-punk hybrid, Aube, from their 2013 Demo; Turkey's excellent darkwave/goth mixture, She Past Away, from their Belirdi Gece album; and the post-gothic/synth work of Seeming, from their new album, Madness & Extinction.
Now, the reason for my month away from podcasting comes into play during the dark metal set, which is comprised entirely of doom this time. I will be on tour with Loss for the better part of May, as we cross Europe for the first time in our career. In honor of that, the last portion of the show begins with the latest from our tour-mates, German doom-legends Worship, then leads into a set of bands we'll be playing shows with, including new material from three great French acts: Ataraxie, Funeralium, and Monarch!.

All of that, plus: Fresh atmosphere from London's Double Echo and Brian Tyler's soundtrack to the "Sleepy Hollow" television series (how could I resist?); The undying and explicitly 'saxual' new-wave-result of seeing "The Lost Boys" again on the big screen (with an introduction by Corey Feldman himself, no less); Selections from the vault of underrated songs; and more...

This episode was intentionally launched a few days late, so that it could arrive on April 1st, to hold up the legacy of Rozz Williams on the anniversary of his death. As is the tradition, this episode begins with a tribute set that features many of his musical, experimental, and poetic outlets, including Christian Death, Shadow Project, Daucus Karota, Bloodflag, Premature Ejaculation, Heltir, and the many solo ventures and collaborations he did under his chosen name. This year, I selected deeper cuts and odd versions that are not often heard, although a proper tribute to Rozz cannot begin with out his musical epitaph, "Flowers," which you will find at the top. Always.

New to the show this time is music from Portland's Arctic Flowers, another in a long line of Pacific-Northwestern post-punk/deathrock bands that have helped to carve the new scene that exists in the US right now. You'll hear the title track from their new Weaver album, just before we go a bit deeper into the latest from their Portland neighbors, The Bellicose Minds. This time, you'll get the closing track from their latest LP, The Spine.

We'll also go a bit deeper into the latest release from Denmark's Metro Cult -- which is actually a 7-inch, so we'll call it the flip-side. New Space/Ghost is also available digitally, right here, for free, so grab it while you can.

While we're going back for seconds,  you'll get another taste of Seeming, the new band of erstwhile ThouShaltNot collaborators Alex Reed and Aaron Fuleki. On their new album, Madness & Extinction, they return to an obscure later track from their former band's catalog, giving it a new spin. Check it out, then order it here.

In closing, we'll take a look at the newly re-issued first Velnias album, Sovereign Nocturnal, which has just been given the deluxe treatment by Eisenwald Records. Bask in its 15-minute scope, then pick it up here.

All of that, plus: Further expansion into the current releases from LowCityRain and Beastmilk; Unreleased '80s horror soundtrack work rescued from obscurity; Selections from the darkwave and apocalyptic doom vaults; and more...

New graphic for Spring 2014

This episode begins on a sad note, marking the passing of Broughty Cole, drummer for the band Lasher Keen. Following a tense, week-long search for his whereabouts after he was reported missing, his body was finally found in the Sacramento River, close to where his abandoned car had been discovered over the weekend. He was only 28. On a better note, the band has dedicated their forthcoming album, Mantic Poetry, Oracular Prophecy, to his memory & spirit -- and if the early mix of "Trembling Dreams" that you'll hear on the way into this episode is any indication, it will be a powerful journey.

Broughty Cole (Lasher Keen) R.I.P.

From there, we move into another new, brooding instrumental from Bella Morte's Andy Deane, who continues to issue new songs, one by one, from his new Small Precious Lights project, which explores dark ambient soundscapes.

On the verge of the release of their new album, Mosaic, Itlay's The Spiritual Bat return with the single "We Are Born, We Live, We Die," which remains true to their old-school goth rock/psychedelic deathrock sound. You can catch a teaser for the album here. Meanwhile, in Canada, the traditional deathrock fires are being stoked by Ottawa's Aube, whose 2013 Demo has been making the rounds online. You'll hear their 'Coffin debut this time around.

In the darkwave realms, you'll get your first taste of Seeming, the new band of former ThouShaltNot collaborators Alex Reed and Aaron Fuleki. Their new album, Madness & Extinction, has just seen release this week. Order it here. We'll also dig a bit deeper into the
darkwave/post-punk sounds of She Past Away, with another taste of their Belirdi Gece album, followed by another song from the new Clan of Xymox album, Matters of Mind, Body, and Spirit.

Industrial/Synth/Wave veteran Gary Numan will play Nashville this coming Monday night @ The Mercy Lounge. In honor of that, you'll hear the title track from his latest album Splinter (Songs from a Broken Mind), backed with one of his earliest instrumentals. It should be a great show.

As we move toward the end of the show, you'll hear a brand new track from Esben and the Witch, streamed from their forthcoming split 12" with Thought Forms. Finally, on the way out, things will take a much heavier turn as you hear side A of the new Hex/Golden Sunshine 7-inch from Nashville's own doom/noise factory Pornography, followed by a black metal offering from the new Sargeist album, Feeding the Crawling Shadows.

All of that, plus: A note of remembrance for the multi-talented Ghostbuster himself, Harold Ramis, following his passing a couple of weeks back; Further exploration of the punk side of the goth/rock fence; More genre-news & tour updates; Deeper current cuts from Theurgist, Double Echo, and Deathcharge; Selections from the vault; and more...

Just to clarify: There was no February 14th episode, so you haven't missed one. Due to studio sessions with my band, that episode was postponed until now -- which means that this brand new episode contains even more new music than it normally would. Behold!

Many great new post-punk/deathrock acts have come to my attention in the early part of this year already, hitting the scene from across the globe: England-by-way-of San-Francisco's Double Echo make their debut on this episode with a track from their traditional-goth-leaning Life Inside/Rupture/Sylvia online release. From Italy comes the frenetic post-punk of Soviet Soviet, whose Fate album crept in at the tail end of last year. From Denmark comes some impressive deathrock, in the form of Metro Cult's New Space/Ghost 7-inch (pun intended?). And, from Chicago, the band Population blows through with a song from their White Crosses EP.

Meanwhile, in Turkey, the darkwave/post-punk sounds of She Past Away make their debut on this episode as well, with a taste of their Belirdi Gece album. And who could discuss darkwave without mention of one of the art form's pioneers, Clan of Xymox? The Dutch group have returned with Matters of Mind, Body, and Spirit, from which you will hear a deeper cut this time.

This has also been a good month for the debut of side projects. Bella Morte's Andy Deane has emerged with two new songs from his Small Precious Lights project, which explores a dark ambient/electronic sound. Nearby, Steven Archer (of Ego Likeness) has just released Stoneburner's The No Chamber, which features experimental electronic landscapes based on the chronicles of Dune. Meanwhile, in the Pacific Northwest, Assemblage 23's Tom Shear has just released Oceania, the new album from his project Surveillance.

You'll also get a taste of the new God Module album, False Face, just before we slide into a dark metal set that is filled with new music as well: A pair of bizarre, experimental black metal entries from Sweden's Stilla and Macedonia's Kult of Taurus, along with the raw, cassette-demo vibe of Finland's Cemetery Fog, and a closing debut from USBM act, Incursus.  

All of that, plus forgotten songs culled from post-punk, deathrock, dark metal, and psychedelic darkwave vaults, and more...

Nashville has been lucky enough to host some great live shows in the last week. Most recently, I had the distinct pleasure of seeing Chelsea Wolfe, performing as a headliner on the eve of a string of dates opening for Queens of the Stone Age -- I may not be a fan of QOTSA, but they have chosen some great openers recently. I encourage anyone in the path of Ms. Wolfe's tour plans to catch her live show, and in honor of that recommendation, I've included one of her older tracks on this episode.

This past weekend, I was also able to catch the much-talked-about Youth Code, when they came through town with AFI. Now, that crowd wasn't really sure what to make of a traditional EBM/industrial act, but I applaud AFI, too, for taking hungry young bands of different styles on the road and keeping things fresh. You'll hear a track from the new self-titled Youth Code record on this episode as well.

Speaking of classic industrial sounds, I take a stroll down that lane of memory on this episode, revisiting some of the '90s sounds that bolstered my interest in the genre. Not to be outdone by a retro-trip, though, you'll get a taste of the new Rabia Sorda album, Hotel Suicide, which experiments with new ways of moving people on the dance floor, while retaining the punch that Erk Aicrag is known for delivering behind the microphone with his main band, Hocico.

Meanwhile, in the realm of goth rock & darkwave, I'll unearth some of the late '90s gems that frequented this show's earliest playlists. Going a step further back than that, you'll also get a taste of the two new Sacred Bones Records releases that came out last week: Sanctuary: The complete Discography of cult anarcho-punk/deathrock act Vex, and the newly-compiled "Killed By Deathrock" LP, which highlights a collection of otherwise-forgotten deathrock and post-punk bands from the '80s, such as New Jersey's own Screaming for Emily, whom I chose to feature this time.

In this episode's last moments, as things turn from strange to stranger, Chicago's I Shalt Become will lead you away with a selection from their latest abstract black metal experiment, Louisiana Voodoo.

All of that, PLUS: Deeper cuts from the new Beastmilk and LowCityRain albums; The 'Coffin debut of Uruguay's first goth band, RRRRRRR; A lifting of the veil to revisit the oft-overlooked Fear of God; Some obscure 1970s necrophilia-cult soundtrack music; and much, much more.
