The folks over at the RMR review desk are big fans of Heavy Metal. Yes, THAT genre again. The one that’s refusing to die with age-old bands still thriving on it to this day. And some of them are still stadium fillers, believe it or not. But there’s not only the old geezers still out there, you also find pretty good young guns hard at work to keep things alive.

Those bands – old or young – still draw on the mana from the first waves of Heavy Metal and definitely the NWOBHM1 era. And many of today’s activists … [...] Click to raid more!

Sanguine Glacialis - Maladaptive Daydreaming - Album Cover

We like them pig-headed and unhinged over here. Proud from the underground, unknown bands that reach us seemingly from nowhere. Complete with some delicious chaos that we will find difficult to describe and rate correctly.

Sanguine Glacialis have been around the block a few times, obviously. After all, the band started brandishing its wares since 2010 or so. They’re thus not necessarily unknown to the initiated. But they indeed sailed straight past the RMR sentinels with their somewhat confused 2018 piece Hadopelagic.

Now, Rise to the Sky is back with Catalán on safe territories he knows best. And that is Doom Death Metal filled with weeping strings, soaring guitar riffs, and the relentless raw roar that is the man’s trademark. Every Day, A Funeral already impressed us with its sorrowful prowess. A … [...] Click to raid more!

Twitter - Bird hit by X

Yeehah, the RMR SEO folks just finished their first Twitter rant. And just as we dropped the pen and published the damned thing, good ol’ Elon Musk dropped the next pretty little bomblet on the unsuspecting masses of the elitist Twitterati. And it’s actually too juicy to just ignore. So, let’s have at it again! Or more succinctly put, let’s X it, shall we?

And here it comes. Death to the bird! The insanely popular and well-known blue birdie met its maker in logo heaven. The silence of the lambs without tweets for eternity. In other words, we’ve just … [...] Click to raid more!
