The Unquiet Grave Episode 80: Nobody’s Fool (April Fools’ Hair Metal Special)
Tonight on The Unquiet Grave (9-11pm right here on WRIR): it’s an April Fools’ special, and I have a very SPECIAL guest for it: my sister Heather. Heather knows a lot about hair metal because she LIVED hair metal, as an early-to- mid-80s teenager, attendee of a zillion concerts, and true blue fan of Ratt. In this episode, we’ll go through her Hair Metal Top 20, specially curated for this episode. We also chat about everything from Cinderella’s Polka Dot Twins (I didn’t know, either), the Mr. Gatti’s pizza buffet in Maryville, TN, and that time Vince Neill told us to keep it down. (And after editing this episode, I can say: you’ll hear my accent in unusually full force here). Turn Up the Radio, ’cause it turns out (You Can Still) Rock In America!
You can re-listen to this episode and all the others at the archive here.

The Unquiet Grave Episode 79: Kill or Be Killed (Florida Death Metal)
TONIGHT (9-11 pm right here on WRIR): Travel with me to a world of mind-bending technicality, blasphemy, innovation, and gore: that’s right—we’re going to Tampa, Florida! This is a re-do of the “lost” Florida Death Metal episode, now with an upgraded playlist and at least 6% more riffs. We’ll hear from the big four of Florida DM, of course, and also the second string, but we’ll take in some proto-DM, sub-subgenres like prog/death, and very deep cuts as well (ever heard Matricide’s “Mother’s Day”??). Listen live right here, or check the archive later (where you can listen to all the previously-aired episodes) at emilyrobinson.org/radio.
Here is a link to the Acheron interview mentioned in this episode!

The Unquiet Grave Episode 78: Nailed (Industrial Crust)
Tonight on The Unquiet Grave (9-11pm right here on WRIR) we’re exploring the sub-sub-SUBgenre of Industrial Crust, starting with some scene-setting via early crust’s flirtations with sampling and electronic influences, John Peel and the labels Earache and Peaceville exposing crust, industrial, and metal bands to the world and each other; moving on to East Anglia and the whole Deviated Instinct family; taking in a portion of one of the most underrated concept albums of all time; closing out with a couple of bands that somehow aren’t even from England. You can relisten to this and all previously aired Unquiet Grave episodes at this link.

The Unquiet Grave Episode 77: The Cold Earth Slept Below (USBM)
Tonight on The Unquiet Grave (9-11pm right here on WRIR), it’s USBM, or black metal of the United States. USBM is a whole wide world, and in this episode I’ll take you through its development—from the very first black metal release in the States, through to the late 90s and a newer, more urban wave of USBM, and beyond, dipping into some specific sub-scenes like Cascadian Black Metal and the Black Twilight Circle in the process. Listen live tonight at wrir.org/listen or check out the archive at emilyrobinson.org/radio (all the other episodes live there, too).
