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 76: 1991 (A Year In Heavy Metal)
Tonight on The Unquiet Grave (9-11pm right here on WRIR), we’re looking at a single year in metal history: 1991. A hell of a year for death metal in particular, 1991 also saw the very beginnings of second wave black metal, the origins of funeral doom and gothic metal, groundbreaking heavy stuff from Seattle, killer thrash from all the major thrash scenes, classic grindcore releases, d-beat, and more. Listen live or check out the archive later at this link—you can see all the old Unquiet Grave episodes there. Thanks for listening and see you next week!

The Unquiet Grave Episode 71: Hidden in a Fog (2nd Wave Black Metal Outside of Norway)
Talk of black metal’s second wave tends to overwhelmingly focus on Norway’s scene (and the interpersonal and extracurricular pursuits of the bands therein). Tonight we explore what was happening globally in black metal during the years of 1992-1997—and there’s no shortage of ripping stuff to listen to and talk about. Tune in live from 9-11pm right here at WRIR, or check out the archived episode later here (along with every other episode of the Unquiet Grave).

The Unquiet Grave Episode 70: Serenade in Lead (Dutch Death Metal)
Tonight on The Unquiet Grave (9-11pm right here on WRIR), we’re delving into the wide world of Dutch Death Metal. Not mentioned as often as Florida, Sweden, or even New York, the Nethlerlands scene was broad, varied, and (at least somewhat) nationally subsidized. The playlist focuses mainly on the extremely geminal period from the late 80s to mid 90s, but we’ll also listen to some new stuff towards the end.
You can listen to archived episodes of The Unquiet Grave, including this one, here. The music while I’m talking in this episode is “Prospettive e Retrospettive” by Ralph van Raat and Louis Andriesson.

The Unquiet Grave Episode 37: You Suffer, But Why? (Grindcore)
No talking, just grind! Tonight it’s short and fast ones for two hours and a total of 55 tracks. This episode has grind of lots of different types and eras and from a ton of different places and scenes—it’s a grind grab bag.
Thanks for listening and see you next week for an East Bay Thrash episode!
