The episode started with some Christmas-themed industrial; a set of cacophonous carols; learned that Christmas ist krieg with a Christmas-themed black metal set; heard some not-so-merry metal; a set of Christmas punk rock from disgruntled elves; a set of twisted and morbid Christmas music; we heard a set of neofolk and experimental Christmas music; and closed with a festive bit of ear-gouging.

Full playlist at https://bit.ly/2IS23W3 | This episode started with a brief tribute to the late Fred Cole (of Dead Moon, The Rats, Pierced Arrows, et al) and a bit of synthpunk and Bone Awl. After that we went kind with a kind of dark EBM set and a slightly more dance friendly EBM set (you'll have to provide your own glowsticks); then we did an industrial metal and black metal set; a set of noisier industrial; then we closed with a block of more sedate material.

Full playlist at https://bit.ly/2IYYVnD | In this episode we did something very different. Instead of the music we usually play we usually play we tried swapping formats with our friend DJ D's show Dark Entries: Goth Radio and played goth, post-punk, deathrock, horror punk, etc. It was a fun show and I hope everyone enjoys it.

We started this one off in the murky area between death industrial and dark ambient, then we took a trip into the eerie ambient underworld. Headphones are encouraged, but not necessary, for listening to this episode. Play this one while reading something spooky and you'll be in the Halloween spirit in no time.
