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. Get into it.

Episode 81: A Year in Heavy Metal (1989)

Tonight the Unquiet Grave returns with a new episode: a look at the heavy metal Peel Sessions. From grind and crust bands operating out of medieval market towns to all-American rural sludge: the BBC had it—across five decades. Featuring a little bit of radio history and a lot of industrial crust. See the playlist for this episode here: https://spinitron.com/WRIR/pl/17570148/The-Unquiet-Grave

Episode 82: Grind Madness At The BBC! (The Heavy Metal Peel Sessions)

This episode takes a look at the "humid" (as opposed to frost-bitten) sound of Hellenic Black Metal, or Greek black metal in its most distinctive, warm, melodic, drum machine-reliant style, embodied by the big three of the genre (Rotting Christ, Varathron, Necromantia) and obscure, demos-only bands alike. We'll also zoom out to check out Greek Black Metal in general, including bands who bucked the national sound to embrace other styles, and modern Greek acts doing their own, often non-traditional thing. Ελευθερία ή θάνατος!!!

Episode 83: Somewhere Beyond Seas (Hellenic Black Metal)

After a pretty long hiatus with no new episodes, The Unquiet Grave is BACK with a new timeslot (3-5pm Monday afternoons on WRIR 97.3 FM Richmond Independent Radio) and an all new episode. Join me for this year's HALLOWEEN SPECIAL, featuring heavy metal about vampires, ghosts, and werewolves.

Episode 84: Chapel of Ghouls (Halloween Special 2023)

It's the very first Unquiet Grave Valentine Special, and I'm spinning songs about love and the heart—subjects covered in so many different ways in heavy metal (romantic, violent, erotic, gruesome, gay, stereotypical, and even surgical). Join me for some Heavy Metal Love! See the playlist for this episode here: https://spinitron.com/WRIR/pl/18540011/The-Unquiet-Grave
