The Unquiet Grave Episode 50: 1993 (A Year In Heavy Metal)

Sun, May 8, 2022

Hey y’all, tonight I’m excited to focus on one of the richest years in heavy metal history: 1993. A lot was going on at this time: from the first major label deal for a death metal band (resulting in Morbid Angel’s Covenant) to Norwegian black metal popping off; from Sepultura’s seminal Chaos A.D to dirgey classics Earth 2 and Sleep’s Holy Mountain —Join me from 9-11pm here on WRIR for a little of all of this and a lot more tonight.

You can now relisten to this and other episodes on a Soundcloud I set up for this show!

Check out my website for information on future episodes.

Thanks for listening!
