Episode 78

New year and more of the same. This is the first episode composed completely using my new computer. Kinda odd that my old computer was relatively new when I started this project. But enough navel gazing.

This month’s episode offers little in the way of melody but it features a lot of death metal and black metal, so that’s pretty great. I don’t feel like writing much more due to jet lag/sleep deprivation, but thanks for all the support over the years. Sic Semper Tyrannis and Fuck 12.

I will return the first Wednesday of February with more filth and irresponsible music in general. Onward.

Episode 75

I have returned and I hope this offering finds you well. What we have here is a song collection that’s pretty long in the tooth. Due to reasons I won’t bore you with I made a conscious effort to input songs I had long liked but had yet to include here, until now.

This collection of death and optimism will please your sensibilities, I trust, if you’ve found yourself in my corner of the internet.

I won’t keep you (or me) here for long as it’s much too nice outside and the dungeon can wait for my return. That being said, I will return in a few weeks with the newest iteration of the Samhain Special. Ready your armor! And thank you for your support.

Hello again. Back with more of what you didn’t ask for. Heavier presence of electronics on this installment which I try to balance with all the crunch and screaming.

Episode 73

Six years in the can and still going strong. I am finally over the halfway point at which point I can dubiously claim I’ve been at this for nearly a decade; or, if in a moment of embarrassment, it’s been “just a few years.”

Some house-cleaning to get out of the way first. It is currently a temperate 80 degrees in NYC but there is a surge in air pollution due to Canadian wildfires. So it goes. Can’t win ’em all.

As for this month’s song selections, I kept it to the basics for this “momentous” (ha!) occasion. I just looked it up and some not-shady-looking websites informed me that the sixth anniversary is the “iron” anniversary. Naturally I’ve decided to provide you maniacs with nearly an hour of death metal, grindcore, black metal, and doom metal. But, sticking with tradition/ethos, I did trojan horse some weird electronic/experimental pieces in at the end.

That’s all I have for this month. Thank you for any and all support–past, present, and future. I will return the first Wednesday of September. Onward.

Episode 72

Greetings, this episode marks the end of the sixth cycle of this project. Next month will mark its sixth anniversary; I’m not good at basic math.

We kick things off with some noisy experimentation before gliding into more familiar blackened material. The second side begins with slower material before smashing into a sizable crust blossom that subsides into some slow-burn material.

That’s all I have to say subject matter-wise. Look after your own and don’t let these fascist bastards wear you down. I will return the first Wednesday of August for the sixth anniversary.

Hello again, friends. I’ve returned with the fifth installment of the all-covers special known as “Anxious Karaoke.” I’m pretty pleased with the balance and variety of this year’s installment.

Welcome back. I’ve returned with some more odd tunes to sate your appetite for the fringes of society. We start with a lot of punk before easing into more metallic territory. It subsequently goes off the rails a teensy bit which for those familiar shouldn’t mind.

Episode 64

Greetings. I love doing this thing on the first Wednesday of every month. Anyway, I won’t wade into the failings of US electoral politics, there’s enough gloom in these songs.

Episode 63

Greetings! Fall has returned and with it my mood has been buoyed. This month’s installment was nearly tardy as we’ve been experiencing ailments in the AE HQ so my attention had been directed there. However, all is well in the household so I have been able to provide you with another ~hour’s-worth of musical filth.

Front half is pretty heavy on the metal tentpoles of this project and the second half is steeped in punk and its numerous offshoots. Revolutionary stuff, I tell ya. I think you’ll enjoy it.
