EPISODE NOTES & HIGHLIGHTS: 

 

After a long year spent in ashes, The "Out ov the Coffin" HALLOWEEN SPECIAL finds fresh BLOOD with which to mix, that it may RISE again to haunt the unlit catacombs that join HORROR with sound, autumn with DEATH, dark music with HALLOWEEN!

So, prepare your still-warm bodies for over THREE HOURS of pure Halloween-Worship, featuring: NEW, current, and classic FULL-SIZE songs from the creepiest corners of goth, post-punk, deathrock, horror punk, darkwave, metal, and MORE, riddled with hundreds of fun-sized bites of cvlt movie dialogue, sound effects, trailers, TV spots, novelties, and horror movie soundtracks, all assembled in ritual formation, and (g)hosted by yours truly, DJ Ichabod.

Once again, in addition to a cryptful of classick Halloween Hymns, I have ungraved some fresh musical specimens for you this year, including new tricks from Calabrese, Rogue (The Cruxshadows), Bloody Dead and Sexy, Vision Video, Boo Dudes, Happy Phantom, and Acid Witch, alongside new seasonal instrumentals from Nox Arcana, Sam Haynes, Ulver, John Carpenter, Slasher Dave, and Cimitir. Plus, I'll be pulling out some rare specimens from the vaults, like the newly unearthed Oddities collection from London After Midnight, and an entire '80s New Wave Horror set, featuring several forgotten analog obscurities.

Ov corpse, we'll also mark the anniversaries of many Halloween season milestones, including the 50th anniversary of The Hammer Horror classic, "Dracula A.D. 1972," and the once-despised "Halloween III: Season of the Witch," which is now 40 Halloweens old! Also hitting middle-age this season, absolute musical essentials from Bauhaus and The Misfits, and some modern classics from Cinema Strange and Horror Vacui. 

 

 

Speaking of anniversaries, 2022 (bite)marks the bittersweet 20th anniversary of the fire that destroyed one of the most Halloween-spirit-inducing cultural landmarks to ever haunt my youth, and perhaps your own: Castle Dracula, the beloved haunted attraction that graced the Wildwood, New Jersey Boardwalk from 1977 until its destruction in 2002. Not to overstate its importance, but it's fair to say that many monster kids were born in the shadow of that castle, their minds filling its unseen chambers with the darkness implied by the pale, bloodlit faces of the ghouls that beckoned to them from its steps. I was one of those kids, just as powerfully drawn to the castle's mysteries as I was afraid to face its inhabitants alone. The fact that I'm still talking about it with such reverence today should be testament enough to the effect that it had on me, but I'll go ahead and say that it was one of the earliest roots of my my personal Halloween Tree. Hence, the anniversary of its death inspired a tribute on this episode, in the form of actual audio from Castle Dracula (thanks to Dark in the Park) appearing multiple times in the intro montage, and images of the castle working their way into the artwork for this year's Halloween Episode. RIP, Drac, and thanks, in part, for making me spooky. 

 

With that, I hope this show will help to fill your veins with Halloween spirit, and inspire you to celebrate accordingly -- and if it does, please hand it out to your FIENDS by sharing it on your social media platform of choice.

PODCAST: Compilation for the Dead 2022 (September 2022 Episode)

Welcome to the 2022 edition of the Out ov the Coffin "Compilation for the Dead" -- an annual tradition for the last 15+ years, which currently stands in for the September episode each year, while I recover from Dragon Con and prepare for the Halloween season. But just what is a "Compilation for the Dead", you might ask?

"Wait... I can explain..."

It's a tribute to the golden age of Goth compilation CDs -- the kind that were so helpful to me, and many others like me, when we were first getting into this kind of music, back in the pre-internet '90s. You'd put one of those on, and a whole swarm of fresh bands would pour out, like so much fog, and you'd reach for a pen to start taking notes on the full albums you needed to hunt down. Old school, yes, but if this compilation has that effect on you, I consider it a success. 

 

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 nice, seasonal playlist for longtime listeners.

I started the "Compilation for the Dead" series back in 2007, after attending Dragon Con for a couple of years, because I would always have conversations at the panels about the state of goth music, the health of the scene, and if there were any good bands still putting "this kind of music" out. My answer to the last question was always an emphatic "YES," but in order to put my money where my mouth was, I decided to create some proof.

"Hi... I made you a mixtape...."

So, each year I choose an album's worth of strictly new and/or current music to represent this podcast, my DJing style, and, most importantly, the current state of goth & the wider dark music scene as I see it. People who attend the goth panels at Dragon Con get a sneak preview of this episode, then I upload it here for everyone else to enjoy. This year's mix features 'Coffin debuts from Vandal Moon and Johnny Dynamite & the Bloodsuckers, as well as many deeper cuts into recently featured new releases. Each band 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.

NOTE: For this year's compilation, you may notice that there are 5 bands from Ukraine. This is a testament to all the great Ukrainian acts that have been covered on the show this year, and a reminder that the war that Russia has inflicted upon Ukraine is not over. This theme carries into the cover art for this year's compilation, which is based on a photograph from a Ukrainian cemetery, originally taken by Aeou (Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported). For ways you can continue to help Ukraine, visit: https://ukrainewar.carrd.co/
 
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, industrial, film scores, dark metal, and more. 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

EPISODE NOTES & HIGHLIGHTS:

The busiest season of the year has arrived, and as a result, you have arrived at the steps of what has been dubbed the Late Summer 2022 episode of "Out ov the Coffin." This extended episode covers both July AND August, as a great deal of impending travel and planning will prevent two separate episodes. In the interest of entertainment, I have thrown a spotlight on the two main inspirations for all of this activity: Dragon Con 2022 and Psycho Las Vegas. So, in addition to the stack of new releases you've come to expect from every episode, you will also hear three special sets that highlight some of the standout bands who will playing at these two massive events. But more on that later...

This episode opens with my monthly Ukrainian Trident, as I've come to call it, better explained as three songs that are either by Ukrainian artists, or written/released for or about the plight of Ukraine, as they continue to fight the Russian invasion of their homeland. First, we hear new music from ВОЛОК (Volok), a Kiev-based act that combines dark ambient atmosphere with the kind of vocals that would haunt a nocturnal Eastern European cathedral on their latest release, Аз Есмь. Second, we hear a song from Defiance, the new EP by neo-folk favorites ROME, which was written in support of the Ukrainian plight, even going so far as to include the Ukrainian national salute, "Slava Ukraini," in the lyrics of "The Brightest Sun." Third, as we glide into the first talk break, you will hear some new Ukrainian dark ambient from Shadowsun's Last Incarnation of Moloch.

The first full set of the night is a collection of brand new 2022 releases, mostly digital singles, from a variety of current post-punk, goth, and darkwave acts. First up is the new single from The Bellwether Syndicate (feat. William Faith of Faith and the Muse + long-running Chicago DJ Scary Lady Sarah). "Dystopian Mirror" is an instant post-punk banger, the video for which premieres August 5th. Sweden's The Secret French Postcards are up next with the standalone single "Dreaming At Last," followed by Germany's Golden Apes, with their standalone single "From the Sky." We then dip into the sacred vaults of France's number one goth export, Corpus Delicti, for a previously unreleased home demo that appears on their brand new collection, The Complete Recordings, 1992-1996.

Returning to the present, we continue set 1 with an amped up new single from Belgium's A Slice of Life, which is followed by a track from the excellent new Kill Shelter album, Asylum. Although this track features Antipole, who teamed up with Kill Shelter for their last full length, this new album features collaborations with a variety of talented artists like Ronny Moorings of Clan of Xymox and the aforementioned William Faith. Rest assured, those will be featured in future episodes. Finally, the set closes with the latest single (and video) from Sweden's A Projection, who continue their successful mix of synthwave and traditional post-punk on "Careless."

Set two turns the spotlight on Dragon Con 2022! For the uninitiated, Dragon Con is a massive convention held in Atlanta, Georgia, focusing on every aspect of fandom and nerdity you can imagine (Sci-fi, fantasy, comics, film, horror, art, etc.) every Labor Day Weekend. In this case, we are going to focus mainly on the music aspect, with a set that includes brand new singles from four of the bands that will be performing this year. 

 

First up is Vision Video, giving us a taste of their forthcoming album Haunted Hours, in the form of new single, "Promises." Fellow Goth Dad Aurelio Voltaire sails in next, with a taste of his forthcoming Black Labyrinth album, which features guest spots from many former members of David Bowie's bands. It's only fitting, then, that the lead single is a medley of songs from the Labyrinth movie soundtrack, which is an idea that simply cannot fail to whip up the Dragon Con crowd. After having to skip the convention circuit last year, missing Dragon Con for the first time in over a decade, The Cruxshadows return this year, armed with a brand new pay-what-thou-wilt single "All the White Horses (Into the Mirror Darkly)." And, finally, the Horror Track's house band, Valentine Wolfe, round out this set with a selection from their forthcoming full-length, Lullabies, Love Songs, and Laments. Of special note this year will be the band's live scoring of the ultimate silent film classic, Nosferatu (1922), in honor of its 100th anniversary. Time and location TBA.

 

Those who attend Dragon Con may know me from my work on the Dragon Con Horror Track (follow us on Facebook / Instagram), where I do the goth panels each year. It is too early (at press time) to provide exact times for all the goth-interest events this year, but watch this space for an update when the schedule is released. What I can say right now is that the main Goth Panel this year is planned for Friday evening in the Horror Track room, AND later that night, we will be throwing our first official Goth Party ever! "The Open Casket Party: A Goth Night at Dragon Con" will take place Friday night, September 2nd, from 10pm - 12:30am, in the Regency VI-VII Ballroom at the Hyatt. I will be DJing, along with Goth Dad + Twin Powers (from Vision Video), DJ Spider, and DJ Black Sunshine. You can find the Facebook event page here for details. And here is the flyer:

Set three finds us marking a whole slate of anniversaries for landmark albums in the realms of goth, industrial, metal, and beyond, as well as going deeper into a pair of new releases. We begin by marking the 35th anniversary of the best Dead Can Dance album of all (IMHO), before sharing a second track from the new October Burns Black album, Two Worlds Collide. Then, because it just makes sense to do so, a deeper cut from the new CALABRESE EP, Death Cult, is paired with their unofficial father Danzig, to honor the 30th anniversary of his third album, How the Gods Kill. After that, we take what might be an unexpected trip to Germany to salute Rammstein on the 25th anniversary of their breakthrough album, Sehnsucht. While I may be tired of the singles from that album, "Klavier" is on another level entirely. Meanwhile, from that same year in Sweden, we revisit Tiamat's A Deeper Kind of Slumber for its 25th, and close the set by marking the 30th anniversary of Ministry's major left-field breakthrough album, Psalm 69 (69, 69, 69!). 

The remaining sets in this episode are dedicated to highlighting just a fraction of the many, many bands that will be playing Psycho Las Vegas this year -- at least the ones that fit the scope of this show. For those unfamiliar, Psycho Las Vegas is an annual summer music festival which gathers artists from across popular music, but largely from the darker sub-genres. Among the 100 or so bands slated to play this year are legendary names from the second wave of black metal, classics from the '80s/'90s dark metal scene, and a collection of great bands from the current post-punk/darkwave and metal scenes. To spice these sets up, I've selected a song from each band that represents what I'd like to hear them play live -- sometimes a favorite older cut, sometimes their latest work.

Set 4 focuses mainly on the darkwave, post-punk, experimental, and dark metal acts that I most look forward to seeing at Psycho, offering up selections from Turkey's surprise breakthrough artists She Past Away, legendary industrial/ebm act Nitzer Ebb, current darkwave favorites Twin Tribes, and the post-punk crossover success story that is Soft Kill. Eclectic and unpredictable Norwegian legends Ulver will likely surprise us all with the direction they choose for their set, considering the breadth of styles they have to choose from in their catalogue. Also representing several style shifts over the years, from death/doom and dark metal to dark rock and sometimes back, are Peaceville-sound icons Katatonia and Paradise Lost. 

Set 5 brings us into full metal overdrive, as we continue the Psycho LV spotlight, kicking it off with Swiss legends Samael, who are also no strangers to style shifts between albums, before launching into a recent track from notorious black metal legends Mayhem. Sliding into more modern black and dark metal territory, we then highlight how stoked I am to see more recent acts Wolves in the Throne Room, Tribulation, and Devil Master, before landing in cult-status territory with a classic from headliners Mercyful Fate. My hands-down favorite song from Rotting Christ rounds out the set, before ultimately closing the show with the opening tracks from co-headlining act Emperor's 1997 black metal essential, Anthems to the Welkin At Dusk, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. I expect that occasion to be marked in their set, for sure. 

And those two sets represent just 15 of my most anticipated bands that are playing Psycho Las Vegas 2022. If you are also going this year, feel free to drop me a line and let me know. Perhaps we can catch up while running to our 47th show of the weekend...

All of that PLUS: New soundtrack music from the "Stranger Things 4" score by Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein; Multiple film anniversaries to mark in the breaks; Selections from the vaults; and more!
