Vertiginous – Incessant Affliction (2026) – Review

Vertiginous - Incessant Affliction - Album Cover

The RMR crew likes itself a bit of abject gurgling from time to time. Death Metal so far underground that no discernible syllable remains audible after the theme is finally destroyed, buried, and the remains fed to hell’s minions dwelling at those unspeakable depths. And usually, such outrageously delicious delivery rolls in on top of a solid wall o’ sound tighter than the devil’s ass.

And we might just have found ourselves another one. This time not from the usual corners in the US and Europe, but from Indonesia of all places. But then, we hear that Brutal Death Metal … [...] Click to raid more!

Finsterforst – Still (2026) – Review

Finsterforst - Still - Album Cover

Mach Dich Frei was the first Finsterforst piece to grace this fledgling zine’s pages back in 2015. Rastlos provided that firm foothold into the RMR roster necessary for repeat reviews. Now, it’s been 7 years since the mysterious, Greta-infested Zerfall hit us in 2019. A kinda weird blackened record that didn’t really land on our best side for long stretches.

The one filled with subdued, putridly liquid riffs and unintelligible growls with not a shred of any clear voice in sight. Realms of the metal underbelly that are buried deeper than most. Extremes where the boundaries between Black and Death Metal blur.

Rigor Sardonicous have been around since 1988. And for that, they should get on our n00b list of old, established bands with … [...] Click to raid more!

Viande – Monument Aux Morts (2026) – Review

Viande - Monument Aux Morts - Album Cover

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!
