Dusk – Bunker (2026) – Review

Dusk - Bunker - Album Cover

Blackened, disjointed, and unsettlingly smelly items already graced our review pipe in the past, no doubt. Need an example? It was only last year, to be precise. Magnadur was the act’s name, and they hit rock bottom with us not once, but twice in 2025. An anal avalanche of Synthwave-imbued pseudo metal shards to crush yer opponents. Or something.

And that’s all the more frustrating because the … [...] Click to raid more!

The RMR crew truly has a penchant for this genre. And we will continue to cover bands, famous or not, sporting the good ol’ art of Ze Original Metal. So, this time, Zepter, the band’s self-titled shorty of … [...] Click to raid more!

Forebode, an Essai by Saille!

Saille - Forebode - Album Cover

It has been a while. Saille was seen last on this zine in 2021 with their pretty snazzy piece, V. A true creature of the metal underground that took this crew by storm. But since then? Nada. The silence of the lambs. The lightbringer probably took a break from feeding this gang of acolytes with fodder for the evil and depraved. Or, maybe, he was busy elsewhere in the world with some Grand Mal of power politics. You fill in the blanks.

Fast forward to 2026, and they’re back on our mighty radar. Now signed to Non Serviam Records, … [...] Click to raid more!
