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. The short of it would be the first half is heavy on post-punk and its off-shoots; the second half is heavy on metal and punk off-shoots. It was a late night in the AE dungeon so I’ll leave you at this point. Thank you to all for your continued support.

Episode 63.5: Samhain Special V

Greetings, fellow travelers. The time has come to immerse ourselves in the new season. The days shorten, the nights cool, and the atmosphere drys. If you’re in the Southern Hemisphere then this means nothing to you, of course. Apologies if I made this lame joke last year (and the year before).

As in years past, you’ll find ~30 minutes of odd and abstract sounds culled from various musical acts’ interludes, intros, and outros. Hopefully resulting in a coherent piece of audio for you to enjoy this Autumn/Halloween/whatever.

I’ll return in approximately one week’s time with the next “regular” installment of oddness. Thank you for the continued support.

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

01) Abigail – “Intercourse and Lust”

07) City Hunter – “Watching Blood Darken” (08:00)
08) Pain Teens – “Valley of the Sun” (08:35)
09) Ballard – “NullJ.S.” (10:15)

Episode 57

Hello once again. Hopefully the all-covers episode treated you well and you were left filled with mirth and nostalgia. But it is time to return to form.

April’s episode is filled to the brim with blackened noise and…regular noise, I guess. It also starts with a great deal of punk nastiness. Perhaps I’m raging against the dying darkness as the temperature soars and my mood sours. There’s no way anyone could know. BUT, you have nearly 60 minutes of sonic mayhem to use at your discretion. Please do so.

Thanks as always for any and all support. It is much appreciated. I will return the first Wednesday of May with more musical bullshit to tide you over until the next time.

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

Side One:

01) Scumraid – “Chronic Isolation”
02) Fairytale – “Fairytale” (01:15)
03) Enewetak – “Hands Are Tied” (05:05)
04) Virgin Witch – “Nail of Dicara” (09:40)
05) Final Dose – “Like Rats” (12:50)
06) The Black – “The Priest of Satan” (15:20)

Episode 56

Welcome back. This month’s installment is heavy on guitars and snarls. I’m starting to think that I need to bring out the magnifying glass for more electronically-inclined sounds as they’ve been sorely lacking the last few months. This shouldn’t be misconstrued as an indictment of March’s contribution to the AE oeuvre; crunch and gristle are welcomed in these parts and hopefully you feel the same.

Do the colder months (this query only applies to us in the Northern Hemisphere, I guess) make you covet certain sounds? I find my listening trends follow the climate to a certain extent. But, contrarianism abounds.

Now that I’ve potentially dissuaded you from clicking play (truly, please listen) I’d like to remind you that only underground music is real. And that being said, thank you for your continued support. See you sooner than you think for the Anxious Karaoke SPECIAL EDITION episode in a matter of time.

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

Side One:

01) Skulking – “Fixation of the Assemblage Point to Tartarus”
02) Cyclic Amp – “Caress” (04:45)
03) Murmuüre – “Amethyst” (09:00)
04) Sandworm – “Cil Roth” (13:50)
05) Gelkhammar – “Sibà” (17:55)
06) Distant Fear – “Crude Sanctum” (22:55)

Side Two:

07) Gath Šmânê – “Genocidal Alchemy” (28:30)
08) Cruciamentum – “Rites to the Abduction of Essence” (35:30)
09) Total Ruin – “The Solid Unmoving” (41:15)
10) Gaping Maw – “Preparation of Glue From Bones” (46:35)
11) War Drum – “Ryde or Die” (49:30)
12) Glaxo Babies – “Stay Awake” (52:30)

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 44

Another episode “in the can.” A few more “heavy hitters” on this episode than normal, but I felt like giving some larger acts their flowers, so to speak. This month is heavier than normal (I guess) on acts from the electronic/experimental realm. Do with that information what you see fit.

Episode 39.5

Here arrives the third installment in the annual “Samhain” episode. Once you begin this sonic journey you’ll be prepared for the darker months ahead of you. Unless, of course, you do not reside in the hemisphere in which this collection was assembled. In which case, I suppose you could utilize these sounds to cool your brow.

Hopefully this selection of songs finds you well. I tried to be more representative of the wider swath of genres I dabble within, so I may have over-shot myself. You tell me if this is incoherent. Enjoy and thank you for your support.

Episode 35

Four weeks have past and I’ve returned with a new collection of songs to sully your day (month?).

June’s chapter finds itself heavy on the slower scale of tempos as a general pace. A few sections reach rollicking heights, but this is largely a lurch. Hopefully this is to your liking. Coincidentally there’s a strong Canadian contingency this month, so cheers to my neighbors to the North.

So without further ado, I’ll bid you adieu. Thanks for the support and we’ll cross paths again the first Wednesday next month when the weather’s even worse.
