Neverus call their style Majestic Death Metal. There, that’s quite a statement. The cantankerous specimens over at the RMR review desk weren’t so sure what to make out of that metallic assault at first, though. Fleshgod Apocalypse’s King 2.0 or just an unholy concoction of unsavory mainstream ingredients? Time to paint that toque black, turn it inside out, and rip the recipe to shreds. Happy cooking!

Well, don’t we love those totally unknown underground bands that just hit our review pipe out of the left field? Actually, we do. They might never grow into the perfect clickbait that any webzine … [...] Click to raid more!

Allfather - A Violent Truth - Album Cover

Hells bells! We got ourselves another one of those bands thinking that a mere 27-minute airplay would melt the ice-cold metal hearts over at the RMR review desk.1 Usually, we’ll allow some leeway to punk records or some truly outstanding performance reaching us in short format. Yet, Allfather‘s A Violent Truth won’t hit any of those lofty standards, gruff fury and apparent eviscerations notwithstanding. And that means that this EP-ish piece here ain’t no candidate for an in-depth full review. Anger issues brutally untreated. ‘Soit’, as we say in French.

To be fair, though, the unforgiving rage … [...] Click to raid more!

Do not forget. That’s what the Latin name Ne Obliviscaris means. So, here we are, checking on a band that should have been on our radar already, judging by the wiseguy cracks out there. But what can I say, their 2017 piece Urn and all the others before them roared past our outlook at the top of the masthead unseen. So, they were indeed ‘forgotten’ by our review folks.

The RMR crew is always up to some new progressive fun. Enslaved just landed on our shores for the first time ever to surprisingly good results. Albeit, they’re not only prog … [...] Click to raid more!

Feuerschwanz - Bastard von Asgard - Video Cover

Hehe! RMR is moving out of the moldy underground sump of our review pipe into the bright-lit realm of Metal o’ the Light. But fear naught, it will only be for a short while and we will be back.

The RMR clip scouts stumbled across Feuerschwanz and their new video Bastard von Asgard. Meaning, ’tis their second appearance on this ‘zine – and that is quite a dastardly feat for a parody band to pull off over here. But then, Feuerschwanz proved to be more metal than some of those other overly silly funny bunnies out there.
