The Unquiet Grave Episode 78: Nailed (Industrial Crust)

Sun, Mar 5, 2023

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.
