Meurtrier – Messe de Fer (2026) – Review

Meurtrier - Messe de Fer - Album Cover

Ah, some devil’s music is, yet again, on the menu. You know, traditional Heavy Metal fare that the old folks around the late ’70s honestly thought rolled in straight through the gates of hell. There wasn’t much metal around these days, so this must have sounded like Gehenna reincarnated for some. Most of it was Hard Rock with some early metal injected for good measure. Case in point, Tygers of Pan Tang just graced our review pipe. And they started their songsmithing in ’78, together with Saxon and a few more. Trespass really hit the scene around ’79 or so. … [...] Click to raid more!

Video: Red Method are Becoming The Sickness!

Red Method - Becoming The Sickness - Video Cover

Red Method have made quite a splash over at the RMR Review Desk with their new EP As in Life. Now, the raw power of their music is only one facet of their artistic being. And when you’re done being slapped around by them Brits, you should also tune into their moving pictures some. It is quite the experience, we can attest.

So, judging by the sound of the artist’s name, this should have been a Teutonic act, in our minds at least. Well, no, of course not.

And now that this crew’s neuronal missteps have been cleared … [...] Click to raid more!

Tygers of Pan Tang – Electrifyed (2026) – Review

Tygers of Pan Tang - Electrifyed - Album Cover

You know what made us pick up this record? It is this statement made by the metaller-in-chief over at Tygers of Pan Tang. And it says: “This is a brand new Heavy Metal album from us, steeped in the late 70s, flavoured from the 80s, and ready for consumption right now!” Sold, the RMR crew cannot withstand that kind of swagger. Electrifyed just landed in our review pipe, no questions asked. Welcome to the sump!

And how could we resist? The good ol’ tygers of the realm were all around us for many a decade. More precisely, they have … [...] Click to raid more!
