November 2022 - The Witching Hour

 


     Without Venom none of this would be possible. The extreme metal scene, hell, maybe the entire extreme music scene wouldn't be possible without them. Venom were mainly credited to push the musical boundaries and bringing forth the raise of black metal. They even coined the term with their second album, Black Metal. It has now been the 40th anniversary this month of the release of that very same LP. This is a celebration of not only that album but some artists that have been highly influenced by the band such as black metal group Acheron to extreme gothic metal band Cradle of Filth to even industrial rockers The Electric Hellfire Club to name a few.


    Aside from this Witching Hour celebrating Venom's 40th anniversary of this landmark album we have another anniversary that was touched upon. This month was also the 30th anniversary of darkwave/industrial artists Das Ich with their album Die Propheten. Brazilian label Wave Records had the privilege of celebrating and hosting the LP. The album was released with new artwork and completely remastered. The release is limited to 200 copies. Speaking of rereleases we also have MZ. 412's 1989 debut reissue Malfeitor. The album includes new art and can be purchased through Cold Spring. Much like the original debut, the album is being released under MZ. 412's former artist name, Maschinzimmer. As told about the release, this was 6 years before emerging as Swedish Black Industrial act we know today.


    Since celebrating all these reissues and anniversaries there was little room for new music aside from a handful of artists that I wanted to highlight this month. Links can be found under the tracklisting. Without further ado "Lay down your soul to the gods rock 'n' roll".

Late Spring/Early Summer 2023 - Subterranean

Image
      Mistress is back after a brief hiatus. There was so much new music to cover in goth, industrial and metal, so much. Not to mention anniversaries of certain releases, events and such forth. You might of noticed the cover of this Subterranean mega mix which I will talk about later.      I think I found the theme song for this mix set and going forward their the intro track by Abandoned Toys , wonderful neoclassical project with a very gothic atmospheric sound with their song Where Tides Defy the Moon . Be prepared to hear it again on upcoming Subterranean mix sets . Now we do have new music from Velvet Wounds , Dalias which is a new act from Chile. And of course we got more new music from Ritual Howls and more.       After a good dose of post punk to start us off with I wanted to touch upon a special block interrupting our normal routine to introduce this Rozz Williams block. The anniversary of his suicide came and went this...

October 2022 - Subterranean Halloween Special

Image
      This is probably my most ambitious mix I have ever done. This also marks 1 year since I been doing this and this has been a long wonderful journey. This massive mega Halloween mix is split into blocks. Consisting with the first block of Halloween goth classics which is followed by part two of the mix which is all new goth tunes for the month. The third segment is filled with Halloween industrial tunes. The final part of this mega mix is the dark metal portion. I use dark metal as a general term of course. This part will consist of higher production black metal to gothic metal to maybe even some death metal . All that lo-fi stuff is reserved for my other mix, The Witching Hour .     Part one is an array of goth , darkwave and post punk tunes fitting for the Halloween season or otherwise generally spooky with markers which you will noticed throughout between songs. These markers are there to help you where you are in this behemoth of a mix such ...
