I frankly never thought I’d write a 0/10 review. And those are, come to think of it, described as ‘dead on arrival’ in our ranking guide. Such a – thing would need to be more than abysmally bad and really point to a band on their way out of their very own predicament.
Over the more than 10 years of RMR in action, we have had exactly two (2) full-length pieces ranking at 1/10/, but never a zero-level event. And this gives you an idea as to how rare true garbage pieces are over here. Not because
You’ll truly find a gazillion of different ways to slice and dice a record. It seems to me that every blog, webzine, or magazine has its own rating method or none at all. Some count to 10 points for their ranking. Others still sport those terrible star things or go for the five-point system.

Ah, the RMR n00b carousel is turning again in 2026. Who would have thought that? This time with At The Gates, destroying metal objects since 1990 with some significant absences in between. Yet another band with a proven track record furthering the metal cause. But one that – for some reason – did not make it onto our roster until now.
Now, this here record, ominously called The Ghost of A Future Dead, is going to be a weird one to review. RMR will be commenting on a record interpreted by a dead man. At The Gates lost … [...] Click to raid more!
