I’m pleased to present the Dark Nation Radio 2025 Retrospective—40 of my favorite dark music tracks from year gone by. Characteristic of the show, you’ll find styles ranging from industrial dancefloor bangers to old-school goth to more meditative electronica, with bands and artists including Peter Murphy, Azam Ali, Corpus Delicti, Eisbrecher, Pixel Grip, Seeming, and Assemblage 23. There’s a lot to enjoy here, so I hope you’ll give it a spin. Thanks for your support in 2025 and my best wishes for a happy, healthy 2026!
