  This month, Arcane Machine celebrates two milestones: our 1 year anniversary, and the close of one of the most terrifying years in modern history. It’s been a crazy journey! Fortunately, while there’s a lot of 2020 content we’d like to forget, there was also a ton of incredible music put forth by goth and industrial artists. So starting an Arcane Machine January tradition, Justin and Ed will celebrate their podcast birthday by looking back at the previous year’s music and picking some of their favorites. Please enjoy some new music by AM faves like Rotersand and Der Prosector, along with newcomers like The Kentucky Vampires and Night Club.  Send your listener submissions/ suggestions to arcanemachinepodcast@gmail.com!

Justin and Ed have returned, spinning more amazing music from the underbelly of the music industry. Chapter 7 sees a bit of a change in the way that the music will be selected for each show, and we think it’s going to make The Arcane Machine a better experience for the fans. This month’s selection of tunes includes a little something for everyone: the bluesy industrial sound of Sister Machine Gun, classic goth from Siouxsie and the Banshees, experimental electronic from Download, and much, much more!

When’s the last time you saw the sun? How long have you been living in fear of the outside world? Do you need to cover your face and hands if you do go out in public? The concepts of being a creature of the dark and living in quarantine have a lot in common, so it’s no surprise that there’s a lot of music out there that’s become very appropriate for our stay-at-home world. In this chapter, Ed and Justin share some songs from KMFDM, Gary Numan, and others, that remind us that we’re not alone in being alone.
