Video: Loneliness Untold, Loneliness Unfold, by Green Carnation!

Green Carnation - Loneliness Untold, Loneliness Unfold - Video Cover

This is about a video that should never have appeared on our review pipe. A black screen, a chair, a guitar, and a guy singing a simple song. No action, no real cinematography to speak of, just himself, his axe, and his haunted vox. And still, here the RMR crew is twisting itself into a pretzel to justify a breach of rulez passed down by the almighty bossman.

Well, we’re talking about Green Carnation‘s 2026 record A Dark Poem, Part II: Sanguis. A record showered with the highest praise by the grouchy minions over at the RMR Review … [...] Click to raid more!

Video: Somewhere Far Beyond, by Zornheym!

Zornheym - Somewhere Far Beyond - Video Cover

An early iteration of the RMR crew covered a first version of Zornheym‘s video, The Opposed back in 2017. But for some reason, the old geezers at the RMR review desk missed both full-length records following the clip, Where Hatred Dwells and Darkness Reigns, and The Zornheym Sleep Experiment.

But fear naught. Towers, the latest blurb from Manchester-based The Machinist, will nonetheless try to make its point. Sincerely so and with all due wiolence the RMR crew can stomach. And what’s up with this Northern English city? Methinks, it regurgitates brutality with abandon. Case in point, the RMR crew just enjoyed some bastardly encounters… [...] Click to raid more!

Video: Ulvgjeld & Blodsodel, rituals by Dimmu Borgir!

Dimmu Borgir - Ulvgjeld & Blodsodel - Video Cover

I am fascinated. Dimmu Borgir was last heard of when Eonian hit our zine – in 2018. Since then, the RMR Record Detection Squad found no sign of these Norwegians on our mighty radar screen. And it’s not that they weren’t busy. Live albums, compilations, singles, it all continued to appear. Gotta make money for Nuclear Blast’s cavernous coffers. But then, that may just be an erroneous perception on our side. Who knows, right?

So, a few days ago, the RMR crew learned that a new record was in the offing out late May 2026, Grand Serpent Rising. That’s … [...] Click to raid more!
