The Unquiet Grave Episode 60: Grindcrusher (A History of Earache Records)

Sun, Aug 21, 2022

Tonight on The Unquiet Grave (9-11pm), we’re delving into the history of pioneering metal label Earache Records. We’ll look at the indispensable Grind Crusher compilation, check out stuff from a couple of subsidiaries, dig into the label’s brave fighting in the techno wars (’93-’96), and of course listen to some undisputed death metal and grindcore classics. I will also say “classic” a lot in this episode. Listen live right here from 9-11pm, or check out the archive at this link.
