Episode 38

Welcome back, friends. The heat is breaking and it rained all day today which places me in a superior mood for this monthly exercise. Hopefully you, the listener, find this installment to be smoother and less formulaic than the last few. I try not to fall into a pattern but no one is immune to the siren song of “That’ll do.”

That being said, I feel like this episode is very natural in its unfurling and eventual denouement. Hopefully you find it enjoyable.

See you the first Wednesday of next month.

Episode 36

This episode marks the end of the third “season” of this vanity project. I won’t pretend that anything I’ve undertook here has impacted anything of actual merit; but it’s been an interesting distraction at best, and a rote exercise that enables me to keep track of the date.

I figure now is as good a time as any other to speak the “mission statement (ugh)” of this very project into the ether. If for no other reason than my own hubris and current intoxication. The following points are only to be read by the biggest sickos as they are immaterial to your listening experience. I still feel the need to mention them.

-I do not repeat artists/groups (with exceptions for collaborations)

-I will always feature at least one (hopefully more) group or artist featuring a person of color. There’s a sea of white boys in all of the genres I highlight and they don’t need my shine. If this bothers you, then fuck off.

-I will always feature a group or artist from NYC. It was meant derisively, but “No one ‘loves’ New York like a transplant.”

All of that navel gazing aside, here is episode 36. See you the first Wednesday of next month for the start of Anxiety Eternal’s fourth year.

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

Side One:

01) Basic Scream – “Springtime”

02) Kommunity FK – “Tribulations” (04:30)

03) Reeking Nightshade – “The Stars Trace Our Paths”

04) Beherit – “Witchcraft”

05) Arkan Azid – “666 Blackholes of Triumph”
 (17:05)
06) Subterranean – “Vengeance We Shall Strike” (20:05)

07) Burial Hex – “Malkuth Rant” (25:08)

Side Two:

08) Squelch Chamber – “Jesus is a Junkman” (28:38)
09) Talk Show – “Night (Renewed By Fire)” (30:26)
10) Musta Paraati – “Hyvää Yötä” (33:44)
11) Grave New World – “God Breathed His Last in Agony” (36:58)

Episode 26

Back at it from a short layoff, but that’s just how the calendar works. This month’s episode isn’t the most dynamic or diverse (genre-wise), but it’s pretty snappy, if I do say so myself.

I’m eager for autumn to begin officially in a few short (I hope) weeks as I just cannot stand summer time. Hopefully the cooling weather doesn’t lead to more Covid variants mutating in the lungs of the stupidest members of society. It’s been pleasant attending shows again after such a long layoff. That’s all I’ve got for this month. Be well.

Episode 24

Hello, and welcome to the newest episode of Anxiety Eternal. This episode also happens to mark the completion of my second year on this project. I’m somewhat surprised I’ve stuck it out this long; kudos to me.

This episode is heavy on the black metal and industrial (perhaps a ‘rebellion against this oppressive heat?) and I have to admit that some of these transitions/cuts aren’t my best. I was out of town and away from music for most of June, so forgive any awkward jumps in subject. Other than that, on with the show.

Episode 20.5

Well, I decided to drop another “surprise” episode to break up the monotony of my current day-to-day and hopefully yours. We’ve entered year two of Life in Quarantine if you hadn’t noticed and most social gatherings are still largely taboo. It being my birthday shortly I would normally be slamming beers and belting out DLR at some hellhole karaoke bar. Alas, it will wait another year.

In lieu of such debauchery, I offer you, imaginary reader/listener, an extra mix for the month of nothing but cover songs. I have sworn off including covers in Anxiety Eternal episodes since they’re pretty LCD; but fuck it, it’s time for dumb fun.

I’ll be back the first Wednesday next month as usual with a new, canonical episode.

Another one in the books. It’s been a curious experience to compile the last two episodes while completely sober. I’m curious as to whether there is a noticeable difference to a listener. Meh.
