Spooky Season by SoundCloud Stories

As the nights grow colder and the leaves fade away, the spooky season descends. A season of fireside gatherings and ghost stories, for centuries, Halloween has long-inspired musicians, from contemporary iconic acts like Black Sabbath, The Misfits, Siouxsie and The Banshees, and The Cramps to coldwave and industrial groups like Nitzer Ebb, Nine Inch Nails and Cabaret Voltaire. And then there are bands who, although not overtly horror-infused, are appreciated for their approach to darkness, such as The Smiths, The Cure and Echo & The Bunnymen. Soundtrack your Halloween with this collection of tracks — featuring Alkaline Trio, Chelsea Wolfe, The Birthday Massacre and more — and descend into darkness.
