The Unquiet Grave served all funeral doom tonight, starting with some noteworthy precursors, stopping by some important locales in the development of the subgenre, and then listening to some more current examples of the style. This was two hours of some of the longest songs ever played on this show, each one of them mind-numbingly slow and atmospheric, and many of them pipe organ-y.
