Episode 73

Six years in the can and still going strong. I am finally over the halfway point at which point I can dubiously claim I’ve been at this for nearly a decade; or, if in a moment of embarrassment, it’s been “just a few years.”

Some house-cleaning to get out of the way first. It is currently a temperate 80 degrees in NYC but there is a surge in air pollution due to Canadian wildfires. So it goes. Can’t win ’em all.

As for this month’s song selections, I kept it to the basics for this “momentous” (ha!) occasion. I just looked it up and some not-shady-looking websites informed me that the sixth anniversary is the “iron” anniversary. Naturally I’ve decided to provide you maniacs with nearly an hour of death metal, grindcore, black metal, and doom metal. But, sticking with tradition/ethos, I did trojan horse some weird electronic/experimental pieces in at the end.

That’s all I have for this month. Thank you for any and all support–past, present, and future. I will return the first Wednesday of September. Onward.

Episode 70

Getting this month’s episode in at the last moment. Hopefully you haven’t been waiting too long. This installment has a strong rock music foundation I’d say. There aren’t too many

oddities this month, but that’s not a bad thing. I’d say it’s actually a rather upbeat affair save for the end. But that’s for you to suss out, I suppose.

Episode 60

Greetings, faithful listeners. This episode marks the completion of the fifth cycle of the Anxiety Eternal psy-op. I hope this missive finds you well in this hellscape we call the present day.

To my tinnitus-addled ears this episode is as close to a representative example of the AE ethos as I’ve been able to muster for quite some time. This project is largely an of-the-moment exercise that isn’t always as diverse as I’d wish; time will routinely preclude me from checking as many genre boxes as I’d like while maintaining cohesion. Hopefully the sonic trail I lead you down isn’t too uneven.

With that being said, thanks to any and all support these past five years. I will return the first Wednesday of August with the next installment.

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

07) Putrid Temple – “Scorned Progeny” (25:50)

Side Two:

08) Nocturnal Blood – “Genocide Death Prayer” (28:35)
09) Mythic – “Winter Solstice” (32:00)
10) Hell – “Inscriptus” (35:35)
11) Bad Breeding – “Contempt” (40:30)
12) Severed Head in a Bag – “Mr. Dixon” (46:00)
13) Ritual Howls – “A Thoughtful Beast” (49:05)

Back after a short gap in time with the newest installment. This month brings the listener a more guitar-centric affair than is the norm in this realm.

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.
