Gothtober - Wil's 11th Annual Halloween Playlist

Here is my 11th annual Halloween Playlist. The world holds as many distractions and diversions as it has in previous years. I am making a more concerted and intentional effort to focus on the celebrations of the Halloween season around me, as my soundtrack pretty much remains constant year after year. I believe if we forget the things that brought us joy as children, we will become miserable adults buried in anxiety over bills and the stock market. This makes a proper soundtrack dedicated to darkness even more needed to capture the magical excitement of Halloween. Perhaps these songs might bring some sonic horror to your ears and carry Halloween into the rest of the year for you. 

This year all songs are new releases, and hopefully not repeating artists from previous years, though not holding myself to this as I am not meticously combing over past years playlists, as I made this while I'm moving, so a little bit of a time crunch, as things like changing internet providers come into play, ya know pesky real life stuff. . Goth and all its various sub-genres are the most obvious tombs to plunder. I am including a few artists that lean in a more rock or metal direction. Lyrically, the songs are at least metaphors for things that go bump in the night or are related to the season. This year’s theme seems to be death. As the veil between the living and the dead thins, may you be happily haunted and continue to play this loudly in dark places!
