There’s no shortage of tunes about evil machines in the industrial soundscape, so this month, Ed and Justin explore the concept of robotics in music. Check out some songs about replicants, androids, cyborgs, and more from a very eclectic selection of artists. We’ve got steampunk, industrial, goth, and… chap-hop? Why not?

Ed and Justin return with a selection of recent tunes that remind them of their favorite classics from the 90’s and early 2000’s, as well as a few genuine classics from Haujobb and VNV Nation.

It’s January again, and that means that Justin and Ed take a look back at the previous year and share some of their favorite releases. It was a fantastic year for Goth, Industrial, and Darkwave as evidenced by the music on display this month. Get ready for music from Front Line Assembly, Scary Black, Vision Video, Joy Thieves, and more!

The last Chapter of 2021 gets very interesting very quickly. Ed’s selected a roster of industrial rock tracks that have ties to grunge from bands like God Lives Underwater and Kill Switch… Klick. Justin’s sharing pieces on the theme of sanctuary and safety from artists that include Covenant and The Cult. Topping it off, a listener submission that may just be the “most mysterious song on the internet.” Can our hosts crack the mystery? Probably not, but it’ll be fun to see them try!

A wide variety of songs this month, touching on the topics of karma, inclusivity, and the physical manifestation of thoughts come to life. Plus, some stompy industrial techno and more Ministry. Enjoy!

Happy Halloween! Arcane Machine celebrates the only time of the year that goth goes mainstream with a collection of songs about monsters, creeps, and supernatural phenomena. From undead surf rock by The Cramps to discomforting industrial rock by 16Volt, we’ve got a lot of spooktacular music to explore!

This month’s chapter features some great songs: Classic EBM from Assemblage 23, goth rock from Type O Negative and The Mission UK, some danceable industrial from Hocico, and a kickass tune from newcomers Heavy Halo.

This month’s Chapter leans distinctly towards songs with angry singers… be it upset about politics, relationships, or isolation. In any case, they’re using their rage in creative ways so the music rocks!

Yes, we get it: The goth scene and the dubstep crowd didn’t exactly mix well. We find that a shame because the music shares so many of the same aggressive, noisy qualities that rivetheads and EBM fans enjoy. Submitted for your consideration, then — a selection of dubstep songs that just might help you change your perspective!

After a brief hiatus, Arcane Machine is back! Just and Ed are celebrating their return to in-person recording with a satchel full of incredible music. Check out their thoughts on some goth classics from the Sisters of Mercy and London after Midnight, and get ready to stomp to some aggressive industrial bangers from Chemlab and Birmingham 6!

When a current artist you love pays homage to a classic song you enjoyed in your youth, it feels like magic… two forces of nature colliding to make a special song just for you. In this month’s chapter, Justin and Ed share cover songs from some of their favorite artists.

We’re celebrating Funker Vogt’s new release this month, as well as looking forward to some brand new Wumpscut! Also included: Some classics from Razed in Black, Information Society, Carpenter Brut, and more.

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!

The last chapter of Arcane Machine year one is upon us! Being December and all, our hosts have attempted to bring a little holiday doom-and-gloom to an already strange winter season.

Themes of religion, apocalypse, and dark sci-fi manifest themselves in this month’s playlist, with songs from Slovenian performance artists Laibach, some absolute classics from Ministry and The Sisters of Mercy, and some brand-new goth rock from Motuvius Rex.

October is upon us, and that means it’s time to get a little more spooky than usual! Is that even possible? Anyways, we’ve included a few tracks on this month’s podcast that really creep us out, along with some dancefloor classics by Ministry, Peter Murphy, Spahn Ranch, and more.

We’ve got some great music from classic artists this time around, as Justin and Ed share tunes from Die Warzau, Christian Death, Imperative Reaction, Ministry, and more. Get ready for some dance hall staples and a few that may surprise you!

Justin and Ed are back for Chapter 8, and bring with them an impressive selection of tunes for your enjoyment. From goth classics by Alien Sex Fiend to brand new industrial bangers by Be My Enemy and Violent Vickie, this show will satisfy even your darkest desires.

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!

Just like it says on the (clove cigarette) tin, this time around Ed and Justin explore some of their favorite goth hits of the 90s. Learn about how bands like The Damned made the transition from punk to undead rockers, hear some early tunes from Rosetta Stone and Bella Morte, and become one with nature while experiencing some of Inkubus Sukkubus’s dark magic. We hope you enjoy the journey!
