Vol I: As in Life, by Red Method!

Red Method - Vol I: As In Life - Album Cover

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!

TodoMal – Graveyards of Joy (2026) – Review

TodoMal - Graveyards of Joy - Album Cover

TodoMal, all is wrong. Talk to me about announcing your intentions in a rock ‘n’ metal setting.

Well, gnarly it’s going to be this time as well. But you won’t be getting any legends. Instead, it is war stories yet again, and more precisely, WWI, the first war of (modern) mass destruction of human history. Y’know, the one starting with cavalry trying to ride … [...] Click to raid more!

Moonspell – Far From God (2026) – Review

Moonspell - Far From God - Album Cover

From early on in the RMR zine’s existence, Moonspell has been an ever-returning companion of sorts. The crew was forever fascinated with our first finding, Extinct. The puffy-nippled, yet gruesome female torso kinda drew us to the record as if the Lord of The Flies had called. But then, the record itself was somewhat hard fare for a fledgling music review site. But then, we stumbled across Night Eternal. This one carried real heft, a brutally dark, murderously ominous atmosphere that would not leave you until the last note disappeared into the ether.

The heavy, all-Portuguese 2017 piece … [...] Click to raid more!
