This episode was delayed a little bit due to the ice and snow that have covered Nashville's landscape in somber white since last weekend, so it's only natural that it should begin with a set suited for reflection on a desolate, mournful snowscape. The Stooges set the tone on the way in, followed by a set featuring brand new music from The Lost Patrol, taken from their Chasing Shadows album, and a further selection from the new Hot Guts new album, Wilds.

The first set finishes with a song from 20Six Hundred, taken from the (so far) three-volume synth-tribute to the music of "Twin Peaks," The Next Peak, released by Retro Promenade. To give you a further taste of the series' new electronic eye on the Lynch universe, another selection -- this one from Full Eclipse -- is included under the talk break. You can check out the rest of the tribute albums here.

The second full set begins with a deeper cut into the new ROME album, A Passage to Rhodesia. ROME will finally set foot on American soil again in April. You can find more information on those west coast appearances here. The set then turns to a premiere from the forthcoming Ashton Nyte album, Some Kind Of Satellite. Known best as the man behind South African goth band, The Awakening, Nyte will release his latest solo album in March. Pre-orders are happening here, and you can see the video for the new single here. 

Continuing with the premieres, we visit Portugal for a taste of the new band NU:N, whose Nothing Unveils Nothing can be found here, followed by another brand new digital single from the once-on-hiatus, recently-international goth band, The Last Dance. The great news? There will be a new full-length in April called Ruins. The band is currently offering pre-sales and perks to support the long-hoped-for new album and live shows here.

The world of horror films and soundtracks would simply not be the same without John Carpenter, so it was with great relish that I welcomed his new solo LP into my home this week. In honor of that, the next set begins with two selections from his new Lost Themes collection, which is (unbelievably) his first release designed to stand alone, without films to back the music -- unless you count the films in your head. Either way, it's recommended.

The darkwave continues with a further look at the new All Your Sisters album, Modern Failures, followed by the 5th digital single from the realms of Gild the Mourn. "Greed" sees the duo of Gopal and Angel Metro beginning to carve out a signature sound, reminiscent of the classic '90s gothwave scene in the US. The fusion of post-punk and darkwave continues with another debut, this time from Sweden's Agent Side Grinder, whose Alkimia album will see release in the spring.

Finally, we reach the dark metal portion of the show, with further tastes of the new albums from Agalloch and Primordial, as well as debuts from Germany's Vivus Humare, taken from their album Einkehr, and Canada's anonymous psychedelic black metal outfit, Thantifaxath, whose album made a number of Best of 2014 lists last year. The closing honors for this episode are given to Nashville's own Hadals, who provide another chance to slip into the ether with their track from the Hadals, Japanese Women, Pleasuredome, Pornography & Settlement split on the noted cassette label, Tapes of a Neon God. 

All of that, plus: A taste of the new reissue of the long-lost first Rwake album, Xenoglossalgia: The Last Stage of Awareness; deeper cuts from the "Under the Skin" and "Only Lovers Left Alive" soundtracks; selections from the post-punk, goth, industrial, and unreleased-horror vaults; and much more...

In keeping with tradition, this first episode of 2015 takes a long look back at the Best of 2014, taking the form of a sonic time-capsule, in which the musical (and to a lesser extent, the cinematic) highlights of last year will be placed for later reflection.

Like always, the songs selected for this episode have been arranged according to flow and style, rather than any ranking system or order -- and since certain 2013 releases crept in late, I've added a bonus set in the middle to feature those, so as to prevent any great late-comers from falling through the proverbial cracks.

Speaking of late-comers, a few releases are being featured for the first time on this episode, including new San Francisco darkwave act, All Your Sisters, the soundtracks from "Only Lovers Left Alive" and "Under the Skin," and the latest albums from Primordial and Agalloch.

Also: My apologies to Principe Valiente, who made it into the first full set of this episode, but was not identified in the talk break afterwards. They also appear in this year's album cover collage (above), which I should note is not necessarily my top 16 picks, but a good visual representation of some of the standouts that also happened to have nice artwork to include.

Out ov the Coffin: Best ov 2014 Episode (January 2015) by Out Ov The Coffin on Mixcloud

PODCAST: December 2014 Episode

[STREAM this episode right now on Mixcloud]

(or use the embedded player at the bottom of this post)

Traditionally, a warped sort of X-mas episode appears here in December, but there was a lack of new and dark holiday-related songs this year (no way!), so I can't put that kind of episode under your tree this time; however, this episode is loaded down with new music to check out (and, okay, *one* morbidly glamorous X-Mas obscurity from the vaults that I simply couldn't live without), so in that regard, let's consider this show a gift. 

One band that did deliver on a Christmas song this year: The Crüxshadows. Their free (or donations-appreciated) single "Light A Way (Back Home)" is available here. It's a bit jolly for the tone of this episode (not that there's anything wrong with that!), so I didn't include it here, but if you absolutely can't live without some goth-related X-Mas revelry, you can revisit the infamous last Out ov the Coffin Xmas Bonus Episode here.

You also may be wondering about the "Best ov 2014" show. That one is coming up next! Look for the upload around January 9th, after I've had a chance to fully soak in all the releases I may have missed. In the meantime, this episode is loaded with new music, because good bands just keep releasing new stuff, all the way up to the bitter end of the year.

This episode begins with a selection from Mitternacht, the latest album from the mysterious and ever-distraught, literally gothic, Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows. From there, we finally get to the lavishly packaged and amazingly extensive new box set from ROME, A Passage to Rhodesia. This double-album set (and DVD, and 10-inch, and hardbound book, and much more) is a concept album that shoukld really be taken as a whole, but as far as sound goes, it finds Jérôme Reuter returning to some of his early martial-pop sounds, as well as his more recent deep folk style, stretched across a little-known historical narrative.

The post-punk noir of Ritual Howls follows next, with a selection from their new Turkish Leather album, leading into the frenetic dark punk sounds of Canada's White Lung, taken from their new Deep Fantasy album. The Smiths' guitarist, Johnny Marr, steps in after that, with a post-punk-leaning track from his new solo album, Playland, and -- following a classic from the '90s goth vaults -- the set finishes with more dark-punk/deathrock from the new Lost Tribe album, Solace. 

The second set leads with a debut from the new Swedish post-punk band, Hemgraven, taken from their Sanddyner av glas album, followed by several early '80s classics (one of them being the ultimate drunken-feather-boa Christmas carol from Hanoi Rocks). The set closes with another post-punk/darkwave debut, this one from Warmline's very-simply-titled new album Sad, followed by the flipside (and title track) of the new single from Night Sins, entitled Down to Drown.

The darkwave/synth/industrial set for this show begins with a newly-unearthed 1983 rarity from Ministry, made doubly-surprising when you consider the source. Al Jourgensen himself not only acknowledged the band's early style for the first time in years by bringing up the lost track, but he then gave the song away for free. You can get the download here or here. Now that you're dancing, you'll be ready for another debut, this time from Italian darkwave act, Ash Code, who give you a slice of their new album, Oblivion. 

The set continues with a second taste of Hot Guts' new album, Wilds, folllowed by a classic from Front Line Assembly, who I finally got to see live in Atlanta the other day, along with the ever-promising relative newcomers in  Youth Code, from whom you will hear another taste of the year-end-list-favorite A Place to Stand. Velvet Acid Christ rounds out the set with the closing track from their new Subconscious Landscapes album.

The dark metal portion of the show begins once again with music from Atriarch's An Unending Pathway, before launching into a track from the new Cult of Fire 7-inch, Čtvrtá Symfonie Ohně. Abigor then makes their triumphant return to the show with a song from the heavily-praised Leytmotif Luzifer, hailed by many as a brilliant return to form, before the set concludes with a debut from the new Bölzer release, Soma.

All of that, plus: A closing track from the new Pallbearer album, Foundations of Burden; An instrumental debut from Ireland's Vircolac; Selections from the new and cult soundtrack vaults; and much more...

Out ov the Coffin: December 2014 Episode by Out Ov The Coffin on Mixcloud

PODCAST: November 2014 Episode

[STREAM this episode right now on Mixcloud]

(or use the embedded player at the bottom of this post)

In contrast to last month's Halloween special, which was full of staples and classics, the November episode of "Out ov the Coffin" is almost entirely comprised of brand new releases that have amassed over the past few months, with a few classics that have presented themselves lately for re-examination.

This show begins with one of my personal favorites from Coil, to mark the anniversaries of the deaths of its core members, John Balance, who died this week ten years ago, and Peter Christopherson, who died four years ago as of the 25th of this month. Yet another small tribute to keep the flame alive.

From there, the show moves into a classic starting-song from my earliest radio days, followed gracefully by new music from Golden Apes, who decided to explore the acoustic side of their goth rock sound on their latest release, The Langsyne Litanies. Later in the set, Unwoman maintains that refined atmosphere with a selection from Circling, her latest, and even more accessible, hybrid of neo-classical instrumentation and darkwave approach.

For those in need of more "plugged" instrumentation, the next set kicks off with a new track from Bella Morte, whose Exorcisms album finally saw release on Halloween (marked by a great set in Nashville that night!), followed closely a brand new one from Night Sins, who I sincerely wish would come through Nashville to promote their forthcoming 7-inch, Down to Drown., as they represent one of the great hopes of the current scene. After a couple of classics, the new releases (and great hopes for the scene) continue with a deeper cut into Horror Vacui's new album, Return of the Empire, and a taste of the just-released new Lost Tribe album, Solace.

In the realm of dark electronics, everything is new this time, starting with Zola Jesus, who's back with a more pop-centric release, from which you'll hear the more abstract-leaning title track, Taiga. Velvet Acid Christ has returned with Subconscious Landscapes, an album that plays to their more mid-tempo ethereal works, which suits me just fine. Following that, you'll get a taste of Wilds from newcomers Hot Guts, who mix darkwave, industrial, and post-punk influences with rare success.

The much-lauded Youth Code has come back even stronger with their A Place to Stand EP, out just in time to see them hit the road with Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, and Haujobb(!). See theose tour dates here. Meanwhile, NOIR has issued a collection of remixes, entitled RE:MIT:TENT, from which you'll hear one of my favorites, THEN, I finally get around to the much-talked-about aggro-industrial band 3TEETH, from their latest, self-titled, album.

The dark metal portion of the show begins with music from the highly anticipated new record from Atriarch, entitled An Unending Pathway, followed by a second taste of the new Pallbearer album, Foundations of Burden. After a deeper cut from Morning Star Rise, the latest from New Zealand's The House of Capricorn, the set ends with brand new music from Winterfylleth, whose atmospheric black metal sound on The Divination of Antiquity took me back to the scene's late '90s glory daze.

Two unlikely collaborators are paired to close this episode, with a track from Yob's new Clearing the Path to Ascend bleeding into a (free) piece from Lisa Gerrard's new Twilight Kingdom album. Odd on paper, but satisfying in feel.

All of that, plus:  New music from Hans Zimmer's "Interstellar" and John Ottman's "X-Men: Days of Future Past" film scores; An unusual (and free) take on the music of Emperor from the new Unto Ashes release, Ghosts Captured; Selections from the avant-goth, romantic, and post-punk vaults; and much more...

Out ov the Coffin: November 2014 Episode by Out Ov The Coffin on Mixcloud

PODCAST: Halloween Special 2014!

[STREAM this episode right now on Mixcloud]

(or use the embedded player at the bottom of this post)

Just in time to kick off Halloweek, it's here! The biggest show of each year, the "Out ov the Coffin" Halloween Special, is back (from the graaaave) with a brand new face for 2014. Not sure whose face it is, but there was an awful lot of blood involved, and it clocks in at 4 FULL HOURS!!! Play it while you get your costume on, listen to it in the car on the way to the party, make everyone listen to it when you get there! Play it all at once, or take it in small doses -- just play it! And pass it along.

But first, kill the lights. Here's what's in store...

Along with heaps of unburied seasonal classics and recently deceased newcomers, this episode features brand new music from Aurelio Voltaire, taken from Raised by Bats (his first actual goth/deathrock album); a brand new cut from Italy's modern deathrock champions, Horror Vacui, who will be releasing their Return of the Empire album just in time for their US tour this Halloween; and dark metal from Krieg's new Transient album & Sargeist's latest, Feeding the Crawling Shadows.

After three full hours of seasonal goth essentials, creeping soundtrack work, crippling movie trailers, severed horror quotes, and selections from the post-punk, deathrock, darkwave, industrial, and dark metal vaults, you'll be treated to a final BONUS set, reliving the height (or the depths?) of the '80s Heavy Metal Horror Movie age, when Satanic Panic led the masses to fantasize about being killed... by loud guys with tight pants and huge hair. On Halloween.

From morbid nostalgia, to modern necromancy, it's the Halloween Special that never quits!
