Freeze the Fall - The Red Garden - Album Cover

They’re young, they’re hungry, and that’s a good thing. Teen band or not, Freeze The Fall boast a musical prowess well beyond their years. And all of that comes with a professional media marketing package that’s almost flawless in nature and execution. But it ain’t snazzy marketing that got our attention, it’s that irresistible sound roaring out of our mighty music machine.

The Red Garden boasts a mix of Alternative and Heavy Rock and a few crazy jaunts into Metalcore country. Plus, you’ll have the pleasure of enjoying some remnants of Nu-Metal that raise their ugly heads suddenly. The band’s … [...] Click to raid more!

Fer de Lance - Fires on the Mountainside - Album Cover

Colossus whet our appetite. This was Fer de Lance‘s first entry ticket into the World o’ Metal. The RMR crew wasn’t mightily impressed but intrigued enough to let this one roar.

Lord Belial - Unholy Trinity - Album Cover

The fiery pit has opened yet again. And by the sheer force of the album cover, you probably already guessed where this is heading. ‘Xactly! Deep down into the rotten flesh of Black Metal Central, brought to you by remnants of the original Black Metal crew of times long gone.

Lord Belial are a finicky band. Emerging in Sweden in the Unholy Year of the Dark Lord 1992, they had an on-and-off relationship with their fanbase. A career haunted by issues and hiatus after hiatus that nonetheless allowed them to produce some 10 full-length records. Rapture, their last confirmed … [...] Click to raid more!
