Episode 55

Greetings! I’ve returned with more filth for the lot of you’s. This month is pretty orthodox in its “darkness” on side one with primarily black and death metal tracks. Side two is when things go a bit off the rails (hopefully in a good way). But that tends to be my “process” for better or worse.

As for my monthly weather report–we got snow and it’s been cold. I am in my element so maybe that means this episode also sounds more jubilant somehow (?).

Anyway, that’s all for now. See you the first Wednesday of March for the next installment. Thank you for any and all support.

The artists and their respective tracks are as follows with each track time noted in the parentheses after each track:

Side One:

01) Wilsumnes – “Sacrificial Blood”
02) Slutvomit – “Baphomet’s Call” (04:50)
03) Craft – “Fuck the Universe” (09:40)
04) Kapala – “Moral Attrition” (14:05)

Episode 54

A new year and another chapter in the book of Anxiety Eternal. If you’re interested in my opinions on the releases that were released (and actually heard by your selector) in 2023, feel free to mosey over to my Instagram (@Anxiety_Eternal) for such frivolity. If not, make no such detour.

This month brings more synth and electronic foul play than recent episodes while still retaining the expected viciousness and cold detachment I assume listeners expect of this project. Not much else to add, I’ll let you decide the merits of this installment.

Thank you for any support and I will return the first Wednesday of next month with more unnerving audial mayhem.

Episode 53

Greetings. Welcome to the final episode of 2023. Hopefully this year has found you (who?) in good shape and good spirits. This month is heavy on guitars and light on electronics. I’ve found myself in a bit of a drought when it comes to new (or merely new-to-me) EBM, dark wave, synth, etc. acts so please feel free to shoot me suggestions.

But who says the “ole same ole” is inherently a bad thing. Lots of nasty death metal, driving post-punk, jolting punk, and immiserating black metal for your hungry ears.

Thank you for your continued support and I’ll return next month/year on the first Wednesday with more hits from hell.

I’ve returned after a short respite with new ugliness. No schticks or gimmicks this episode (no disrespect to the specials), just nasty black metal, depressing noise rock, upsetting experimental excursions, and punishing hardcore.

Episode 51

Welcome back. The leaves are falling and a return to seasonal normalcy approaches. This month’s episode is pretty guitar-centric, but it kicks off with two electronic oddities. Not much in the way of melody this month either, but I doubt the faithful few of you will find that objectionable either. Not much else to say other than thanks for the support.

Episode 50

Here comes the fiftieth episode of this vanity project. So much time spent on what I deem to be “reputable” sounds; hopefully you’ve found me agreeable.

This basement (Hi, Anthony) that I’ve spent much of this project’s undertaking has cooked my brain so I am curious if the progressions make sense outside of this place in the world.

Episode 49

I’ve returned with a new collection of depraved songs to dazzle and disappoint. This month’s episode is pretty heavy on black metal and its offshoots. At least relative to my recent output. Perhaps it’s my subconscious straining and bucking from the heat.

Episode 47

Another stroll down the calendar, another iteration of your least-favorite mixtape project. Does it date me that I insist on that “-tape” affix? Probably.

Lotsa punk and distortion this month. Little to be had, synth-wise; just how it goes sometimes. I found myself pleased that a number of artists I’ve long meant to include in an episode found themselves to be.
