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.

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

Side One:

01) Gitrog – “I Am the Tower”
02) Kaarna – “Vaskimies ja punainen kirves” (02:40)
03) Absolute Key – “Absent Doors” (08:25)
04) Grok – “Emptied Out” (13:45)
05) Maeglin – “My Father’s Father’s War” (19:05)
06) Grave Chalice – “Descending Mirror of Ascending Flesh” (22:55)

Side Two:

07) Eggs of Gomorrh – “Elation Devout” (28:20)
08) Messe Mortuaire – “Filius Diaboli” (33:40)
09) Reputdeath – “The Reek of Emptiness” (40:00)
10) Grief – “Isolation” (46:00)
11) Anti-Cimex – “Prelude E-Minor / Criminal Trap” (49:50)
12) Hüstler – “Uniform Fetish” (53:35)

Episode 41

Here it is, the final episode of the year 2022. No best-of’s or end-of-the-year lists* and whatnot, just the standard weirdness and general discomfort listeners can expect from this project.

This month leans heavily into the blackened and the punk side of things; so hopefully to your liking. I’m also pretty sure this might be the first episode with two tracks featuring female performers, which is pretty embarrassing if I’m being honest. Here’s hoping for more diversity in personnel for the coming year.

See you the first Wednesday of next month. 

*I always appreciate (assuming the person doesn’t have shit taste) reading a well-curated best-of list. Please do not hesitate to share yours.

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.

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.

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.

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.

07) Wound Man – “Disease of Ease” by His Hero is Gone (20:17)
08) Reverend Bizarre – “The Gate of Nanna” by Beherit (21:51)
