Trollzorn Records are always good for a metal surprise or two. In 2025, they steadily fed us German underground fare and landed two hits onto our roster, Bergthron and Thorondir. 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!

Sometimes you gotta wait. The time may not be right for the RMR zine to take on a record. And that’s why there’s nary a peep about one given piece left to rot in the catacombs of our review pipe for long years. But once that time comes, things will move fast.

So, here the lazy geezers at the Review Desk were browsing through ‘old’ records, unfinished drafts, and lost ideas. And they came across a relatively unknown Danish band that garnered some attention in 2024 and then fell through the pipe’s greasy cracks. And there it stayed in its … [...] Click to raid more!

The 2010 release Aealo, arguably one of the most prominent pieces in Rotting Christ‘s extensive discography, just got a revamp. The RMR crew will never understand why they did not cover stellar pieces such as Sanctus Diavolos, but here we are. Yet, it is also true that this olde record may fit best in RC’s current narrative, which they tried to push since Rituals hit our turntables.

So, here, in 2026, the RMR crew went on a rampage, comparing the original record with this rerecorded one. And we have two main takeaways. The first is that Aealo

Power Metal hasn’t been on the menu yet for this early 2026. So, it’s high time to get another one out into the open that recently struck our fancy. 2025 had a good run with them. The offerings of DarkTribe, Helloween, or – again – Moonlight Haze seriously destroyed some of our loudspeakers over here. But – all of those were comparatively ‘serious’ pieces run by bands taking good care not to slather unwanted fat ‘n’ sugar everywhere.

So, the RMR crew went a-searching for that new over-the-top exuberant record, magnanimously plastering cheese wherever they shouldn’t. Aeon Gods… [...] Click to raid more!
