Ponte Del Diavolo, or devil’s bridge in English. You got a bunch of them across Northern Italy and neighboring Switzerland. There is one in Cividale del Friuli in the North-East. The one Corte Di Lunas famously rocked about. The Ponte della Maddalena in Borgo a Mozzano, Tuscany, is another famous one. But let’s turn to the one just outside Turin. Located in Lanzo Torinese, a few clicks away from the city, this is the one that might have inspired the band’s name. A mystery of a construction, apparently built by the devil himself for the price of one soul.1… [...] Click to raid more!

Paganizer - As Mankind Rots - Album Cover

I think it was his very own record Entrance to the Otherwhere that introduced this crew to Rogga Johansson and his ways. And since then, the man with the most prolific artistic loins known to the modern metal world has never left this zine. And how could he? Wherever we turn in Northern-leaning Death Metal, suddenly, his bearded mug appears from the props.

That’s not a bad crop to reap on a webzine like ours with limited firepower and crew members beset with bad taste and terrible decision-making urges.

So, it looks like the RMR crew will get moar German roar as 2026 finally takes off to tastier shores. And this time it is meaty Death Metal with blood dripping still from its recently dissected innards. Raw and furious, that’s kinda what … [...] Click to raid more!

Ov Sulfur‘s debut album The Burden Ov Faith never reached our review pipe. 2023 was a busy year and – I reckon – there just was no time left in our 24-hour workdays to stuff yet another obscure Extreme Metal outfit into the fray. Besides, ‘core-ish material isn’t necessarily our daily bread, so we gave it a pass. Little did we know that this band would bang up a ruckus in the heavy music world ever since.

Deservedly so or not remains to be seen. Opinions and gruff misunderstandings have been mixed ever since, after all. So, this time, … [...] Click to raid more!
