Witch Piss – The Devil Doesn’t Burn (2026) – Review

Witch Piss - The Devil Doesn't Burn - Album Cover

Ah, the Satanik Panik is back amongst us yet again. Allegedly. At least judging by the flame-ridden album cover and the entry monologue on the first track. All of that comes from a band geniusly called Witch Piss, no less. A work of ‘art’ that’s so typically late ’70s, I want to go find a time machine and correct this ever-returning theme.

And then, their album moniker bluntly states that The Devil Doesn’t Burn. Doesn’t it, now? Mankind has yet to find out, methinks. But I digress. Let’s see if this message of fire, brimstone, and social depravity … [...] Click to raid more!

Wolfbastard – Satanic Scum Punks (2026) – Review

Wolfbastard - Satanic Scum Punks - Album Cover

Oyez, oyez, oyez, ye people of the lowlands! Wolfbastard are up to their gruesome ways again. And their fury is blazing hot, enough to chase Lucifer away. The last time over, they mercilessly hammered robed priests to a pulp. This time, they take an unholy liking to broken bottles in dark street corners.

In 2024, the reviews were somber, virulent, and abrasive when the year was in relative control. In contrast, 2025 caught itself a mellower clutch of albums over at the RMR review desk, when these endless 12 months are a fucking disaster to put it mildly.

And that mellowness manifests itself in a bunch of folk pieces and a load of often excellent doomy excursions such as this one. Good quality Metal o’ the Light also made … [...] Click to raid more!

Waldgeflüster – Knochengesänge (2025) – Review

Waldgeflüster - Knochengesänge Teil I & II - Album Cover

A double-tap, that’s what Waldgeflüster had in mind this time. Knochengesänge (bone chants), they called their newest piece of art. A tandem going for a whopping 109 minutes of airtime. That’s usually a no-go for this crew. But hey, the things we do for the Forest Metal gang. We just hope that they got a good compass; these are vast wooded wastes out there. And you surely wouldn’t want to get lost out there. Else, some evil witch, Bruder Hain1, or Rübezahl will get you just good. And you won’t get out of there anymore.
