Attention metalverse!! We got ourselves yet another case of nomen est omen in Extreme Metal. Archspire are back with a new red-hot item called Too Fast To Die, the successor to Bleed The Future from ’21. And boasting a moniker reeking of staleness that sounds so James Bond, you wanna throw up into a bucket.

But, this new piece may very well prove prophetic in more ways than one. So, fasten your seatbelt, speed will be of the essence this time and those traffic fines be damned.

One thing is clear, Inferi just grew themselves some competition. And to … [...] Click to raid more!

Ah, a sign of the times. The daemons are on the loose, it seems. Or to freely paraphrase Anaal Nathrakh, the devils are all on Earth right now. At least that is what today’s world feels like. So, what about a little excursion into ritualistic territory? We may invoke some abysmal thing dispatched to this mortal coil, after all. A real demon, perhaps?

And yes, I heard the theories that the band moniker derives from some Harry Potter fantasy. And if true, they need to grow up. But otherwise, ’tis yet another long-standing metal band that eluded the RMR crew for long years.

There goes Archspire was the RMR crew’s first mutual thought when Heaven Wept led off into the metallic yonder. And we weren’t all that wrong with … [...] Click to raid more!

RMR isn’t Prog Central, true. But the crew has visited its share of prog pieces of all couleur to at least have an inkling of the genre at large. The old geezers at the review desk fondly remember the times when Steven Wilson wasn’t yet the electronica dude, but did some real outstanding progressive work. Or when Haken’s animalistic urges blew us away with finely-chiselled technical artistry and pure savoir-faire. Caligula’s Horse visited a few times as well. But, finally, their early work mostly stuck with us. I could go on.

So, here Voidchaser hit the RMR detection radar. … [...] Click to raid more!
