It’s no secret that hosts Ed and Justin each have their own video game music podcasts, so it was inevitable that their interests would intersect eventually! This month, they take a look at how industrial, goth, synthwave etc is used to create mood and atmosphere in video games. From the harsh industrial beats of “Prodeus,” to the electro-rock riffs of “Vampire: The Masquerade,” to a spooky Nick Cave-esque ballad from “Trüberbrook,” there’s a fantastic selection of music you may not be aware of!

Our focus this month is on ionic voices in goth and industrial music. We’ll be hearing from legends like Chris Connelly, Bill Leeb, Andrew Eldritch, Corpus Delicti’s Sebastian, Athan Maroulis, and a few more surprises. Enjoy!

As one of the weirdest years on record comes to a close, Arcane Machine takes a look at some of their favorite musical products of 2022’s insanity.

Party like your government has mandated it! This month, we share some fantastic music, much of which has originated around Eastern Europe or shares that aesthetic. We’ve got Aggressiva 69, Stromkern, Social Union, Pop Will Eat Itself, and more.
