Top Free Industrial/Goth Internet Radio Stations

In 1998, Sister Machine Gun frontman Chris Randall broke from his current record label and founded Positron! Records. Eight years later, Positron! has only continued to grow, producing such acts as Micronaut and Beautiful Assassins and pairing up with other independent labels for distribution purposes. The upshot of this is a streaming internet radio station that offers the best of their catalogue and a superb collection of industrial/electronic/jazz/funk/goth music. Bands include the venerable, like Sister Machine Gun and Die Warzau, and the new, like Bounte and Trigger10d. The site offers full streaming shows at 128 and 32 kbps, as well as an occasional downloadable show called The Perfect Album side. WinAmp is recommended for optimal listening.

Rue Morgue Radio bills itself as The World’s Original All Horror Broadcast and it does its best to live up to that title. The music is eclectic, ranging from the metal stylings of Rob Zombie and Judas Priest to the more early rock sounds of bands like Zombina and the Skeletons. Mixed into the play list are sound clips horror movies, movie reviews, and interviews with horror personalities. Though not entirely goth, the show is always an entertaining way of celebrating the taste of Halloween all year long. The station is not continuously streaming, but offers a new show every Friday. Shows can be played in their own popup player (Flash 8 required), downloaded from the site in a zip format, or subscribed to via iTunes. Shows are around 30 to 45 minutes in length.
