Top Female Vocalists @ RMR - Female Metal Band

Over the years we covered a whole bunch of female interpreters that more or less prominently appeared on the RMR zine at some point in time. And this at a rate of some 25% of all reviews done to date.

Now, let’s be clear.

There will be no quota for anything on this blog, so don’t get your hopes up. We’re not going down silly road and die the painful death of fucking political correctness. Nor will there be any single-minded preference towards any type of interpreter on this blog.

We will – however – cover whoever in the world … [...] Click to raid more!

Traveler - Prequel to Madness - Album Cover

And I thought that the newest Traveler album art would be devoid of tentacled beings this time. But no, those Canadians insist on them.

But then, I think that an object called Prequel to Madness should somehow try to drive you nuts already. Right?

Kollapse - AR - Album Cover

Do you still remember Sult‘s terrible visage devoid of skin? You know, the totally terrified look of some unfortunate human being enduring atrocious torture and not knowing what comes next? Yes, that guy. Well, it looks like somebody just tried to cover this up and reconstitute the facial features. Only, they did a total fuck job and the scarred tissue ain’t pretty in its pinkish horror. Welcome to Bedlam. Scream at me, Kollapse. If you still can do so without a mouth, that is. Ouch, endless pain ahead.

To get things straight. AR – the title of the … [...] Click to raid more!

Inver - On This Earth - Album Cover

It’s the bleak album cover that made it happen. The successful arrival of Inver‘s debut album On This Earth at our review pipe’s doorstep, that is. And – I guess – the fact that the record aired mid-January when everything is should be frozen helped a bit, too. Melancholy galore, no end in sight for the ceaseless wintery depression. So, we got ourselves fertile grounds for doomy musings on sunless days, one would think.

But then – nada. The record continued to fester unmolested by prying eyes in the sumpy realms of our datafeed. Because whenever we fired the … [...] Click to raid more!
