I vaguely remember Ba’al‘s Ellipsism floating by on the now-defunct Clobber Records in 2020. But – sadly – the time wasn’t right for their enigmatic wares four years back and we gave the record a pass. And, perhaps, we shouldn’t have done that. But then, hindsight is always 20/20, right?

So, the other day, the RMR Deck Crew got ahold of the band’s new EP Soft Eyes. Especially Ba’al‘s insistence on Blackened Post Metal and visions of those funky wares on offer these days got our curiosity going.

Well, Ba’al‘s style is still as enigmatic as … [...] Click to raid more!

Panzerchrist‘s Last of a Kind kicked up a ton of dust over here in 2023. To the point that all this brutally vile debauchery landed straight on the RMR Top 10 of that very same year. Somber and terrible – as was the Year of the Dark Lord 2023. Now, we got new beginnings and all, and already we’re looking for the real thing.

Thus, their newest EP landed in our review pipe with a selection of three tracks that should – and I paraphrase – let the band further explore the depth and breadth of their offering. All of that is in view of an upcoming album planned for next year or so.

And indeed, Vokonis added Hedvig … [...] Click to raid more!

20 Watt Tombstone - The Chosen Few - Album Cover

Oh by the mighty Gawds of Fuzz, a huge seething hot lump of rock just rolled onto our doorstep. Something that they used to make in the hot South. But instead, the piece reaches us from America’s Dairyland.1 Rock with a Southern flavor straight from the heartland that this ‘zine is in dire need of. So, break out that bottle of Kentucky Bourbon and let ‘er rip.

Someone called 20 Watts Tombstone‘s newest blurb The Chosen Few Gritty Fuzz Rock and I would quite agree. ’70s style rock that could have sat straight on top of any ZZ … [...] Click to raid more!
