The Unquiet Grave presents:
On tonight’s ep of The Unquiet Grave, we explored heavy metal of the U.S.S.R., mostly from the mid-to-late-eighties. This was a very fun episode to make, and also the hardest I’ve worked on researching an episode, so I hope you enjoyed it! I want to give a special shoutout to my absolute favorite Soviet metal album cover—the cover of the Минздрав СССР/Реаниматор single by Samaran thrashers Режим (Rezim) featuring Lenin joyfully sweeping imperialists off the globe (the featured image on this blog post). Thanks for listening, and join me next week for an all grindcore episode! Follow me on Twitter or check out my webpage for info on upcoming episodes.
Here is a link to the Heavy Metal of Eastern Bloc YouTube channel I mentioned on the episode.
The background music while I talked in this episode was a recording of the Soviet National Anthem that played at the end of the television broadcast day in the 1980s.
Your host, Emily
