Eie - My Tongue Is Stuck to the Roof of My Mouth And That Is All I Can Think About - Album Cover

How do you lure good ol’ RMR into writing a review? Well, send a bunch of out-of-this-world psych tracks and strange noisy objects garnished with an unspeakable record title to us. That’s how. And let’s face it. We have a weakness for well-written weirdness in an out-of-the-box setting. But submitting this kind of material can be a double-edged sword, of course. Because bad quality stuff filled with absurdities will be treated differently.

Yet, the RMR crew had no such qualms for eie. The band boasts a turbulent chatterbox item called – hold on to something – My Tongue [...] Click to raid more!

And earnestly, who can resist the Roar ov Wrath emanating from those frayed belltowers? Black Sabbath and AC/DC are most fondly remembered for prominently ‘ringing the bell’ anywhere on the globe some eons ago.

Video: I Wish You Were Dead, Lacuna Coil’s fatal desires!

Lacuna Coil - I Wish You Were Dead - Video Cover

Just one day before Lacuna Coil‘s newest album Sleepless Empire released mid February 2025, the band dropped a bomblet of a new video. At first, the RMR crew was somewhat unimpressed. The clip was based on I Wish You Were Dead, the most commercially accessible track on the whole album after all. Yet, this is also the most gothically tainted song on this album.

And sure enough, you’ll find a clip telling an almost stereotypical goth story of the beloved wanting to dispose of her mate in a colorful variety of creative ways. But all sorts of trouble … [...] Click to raid more!
