Episode 39

The rain and the cool have returned which brings much joy to my heart. Gone (for now, at least) is the heat and the stinging brightness of Summer and in its place is a comforting chill.

Perhaps this abrupt switch in climate lead to this month’s episode being heavier on the black metal than recent installments from the hotter and sunnier months. Either way, this episode likely appeals to the “black metallers” out there. I haven’t much else to say this month. Enjoy and thank you for the support.

See you in three weeks for the third annual dungeon synth / dark ambient special.

Greetings from the beginning of Heat Death: North America.

This episode marks three years completed on this project and a tumultuous three years in general. Thanks to all who have supported over the years, I’m eager to be starting the fourth cycle of this project with the episode you’re about to hear.

I won’t drone on, other than to mention (in passing) how this episode features more “big” bands than previous episodes. It wasn’t intentional, but I felt like acknowledging it.

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.

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.

The weather is finally, mercifully transitioning to a station more to my favor; this likely contributed to a stronger presence of black metal than more recent episodes.

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.

Episode 21

Warm weather is rapidly approaching and with it comes a general lethargy that I think you’ll find adequately represented in these songs. I guess that’s an indirect way to imply that a lot of slow music awaits you. Not much else to say, get fucked up and zone out.
