In trying times like these, what better idea than to sit your ass down with some truly vile metal? It will (hopefully) burn the mental fat off your grey matter real fast and help get rid of this aggression fest aimlessly careening about your skull.

And today I have a special suggestion that will brutally expel vegetarians and vegans, too. Not that they cannot partake in this endeavor, far from it. But they’re not gonna like the smells and texture of this particular meal.

Viande, the band, brings you the putrid fare you need. Terrible fetid musings in grimy … [...] Click to raid more!

Element of Fate‘s official website seems to be Instagram of all things. Yep, this social media channel.

Yet another tale of doom, brimstone, and fire.

And this made us pick up this third iteration, Call of the Void. And as the saying goes, the leopard does indeed not change its spots (easily). This new record latches on where the extinction piece left … [...] Click to raid more!

Detonate, Red Method called one of their songs. And this is how you feel once their newest EP As in Life sets its sights on you. You’ll face a series of hardly controlled explosions without cover for your sorry ass. Or let me freely steal someone’s opinion, saying that every song of this band “…feels like a shotgun blast to the face.” We quite agree.

Now, those with some knowledge of the inner workings of the old geezers over at the RMR Review Desk will remember that whatever ‘core has in store usually don’t sit too well. It’s just … [...] Click to raid more!
