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.

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

Side One:

01) Scimitar – “Flame War”
02) Aïboforcen – “S…You F…Too Much!” (05:20)

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.

Side One:

Side Two:

08) Barren Altar – “Delirium Vivens” (28:00)
09) Gosudar – “King of Pain” (35:50)

12) Pure Terror – “Fuck the Occupation” (48:40)
13) Displeasure – “Property Management Scum” (50:05)
14) Can – “Thief” (51:45)

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.

Also, I will return in a few weeks with the newest installment in my Samhain/dark ambient special. Stay tuned for that and be well.

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.

I’ve now officially been making song selections for strangers (at least this cohort) for four years. Thank you to all who have listened over the years. Hopefully you continue to do so as I begin year five of this project.

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.

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.
