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.

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.

Episode 32.5: Anxious Karaoke

We’re back. I am, like many humans, a self-centered person. And as such, I like to do karaoke on my birthday and artists covering other artists is effectively “professional karaoke”.

Episode 28

Welcome back, it has NOT been a while. Hopefully the cooling weather (for us in the Northern Hemisphere, at least) finds you well. This month’s installment finds me with an apparent split-personality. Side one is very heavy on metal while side two is almost solely in the vast realm of post-punk. Hopefully you don’t find it too jarring. Until next time.

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

Side One:

01) Entropy Created Consciousness – “Nights II – IX”
02) Sainte Marie des Loups – “Progéniture” (04:32)

13) Crux Ansata – “No Time For Lies” (50:40)

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.

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

Side One

01) Lamp of Murmuur – “Chalice Of Oniric Torment”
02) Lunar Kingdom – “The Call of the Blood” (05:30)

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.

Side One

01) Throbbing Gristle – “10 Pence”

16) My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult – “A Daisy Chain 4 Satan
(Acid and Flowers Mix)” (50:25)

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.

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

Side One

01) Buzzov*en – Loricet

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.

Episode 19

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.
