De Profundis spew The Gospel of Rot!

De Profundis - The Gospel of Rot - Album Cover

De Profundis’ 2022 piece The Corruption of Virtue first took us by surprise and then by storm. An astute piece of Death Metal of all couleur that fascinated us with its merciless musical prowess. But since then, nada. Not a peep from Londontown. So, we filed them away for being one of those RMR one-time events in metal.

But it appears that they were busy behind the scenes. Because – lo and behold – their newest EP, The Gospel of Rot. landed with a mighty bang in the midst of our sleepy brethren of the RMR Review Desk.

Video: Ik Kom Uit Het Graf, sepulchral musings by Carach Angren!

Carach Angren - Ik Kom Uit Het Graf - Video Cover

Long time no hear, sez I. After their take on Frankenstein (or Franckensteina) left the gate, Carach Angren kinda disappeared from sight. A few deep knocks here and there, but nothing to write home to the Dark Lord about.

Terra Atlantica are on the prowl again. To our chagrin, steampunk seems to be out the door, and Oceans are their theme with a penchant for pirate lore. A fact we kinda guessed when looking at the cover.

Overt Enemy – Insurrection (2025) – Review

Overt Enemy - Insurrection - Album Cover

There’s some headscratching going on over at the Review Desk. The powers that be of the metal interweb threw American thrashers Overt Enemy into our lap, wordily touting its wares in often flowery language. An act from Mission, Texas, who had – and I quote “…carved a name for itself in the global metal scene…” happily riding into the sunset on all that newfound global fame. Or something.

And that sounds great, except that their 2025 tour happens all around the Lone Star State. And the only live location abroad that we could find was the UK. Back in 2018.
