The Unquiet Grave Episode 81: A Year in Heavy Metal (1989)

Tonight on The Unquiet Grave (9-11pm right here on WRIR): It’s 1989. The Berlin Wall is falling, the Exxon Valdez is hemorrhaging oil, Bush has assumed office, and my god, there is a lot of thrash metal coming out. This episode is a long look at what heavy music looked like that year, including briefs on death, doom, and hair, three big industrial classics, a dip into the burgeoning Seattle Sound, an Earache overview, and a world tour of killer thrash. Listen live right here or check the archive at emilyrobinson.org/radio!
