It indeed looks like Italy will be up top for Black Metal these days of early fall 2017. RMR just covered the New Age Black Metal outfit Parodos. A band that does not fit the Norwegian definition of this genre at all. Yet the outfit still gets you an interesting mix of styles that includes at least some spiked fisting. And they managed to keep enough of our deck crew’s interest to get them a review.

But sometimes you crave the real thing. Trve Black Metal played in the dungeon with THE GOAT watching you from the wall. Way … [...] Click to raid more!

The Italian metallers Tethra released their sophomore album Like Crows for the Earth in February of this year. And I daresay that their record left quite an impression on the RMR crew.

The band now doubled down and released a new and quite controversial clip based on their title track.

The band’s newest album Indomitvs just delivers whatever my black metal heart desires this dark morning. Right up there with the likes of Batushka‘s Litourgyia or the ritualistic Darkend.   

Their menu: Traditional Black Metal in all its unholy Northern splendor. And this without a lot of the current-day theatrics that we have to put up with.

At least this is the first impression. … [...] Click to raid more!

RockmusicRaider Newsflash - On Top - Top Dollar - Album Cover

Wasn’t I just cruisin’ along these older and newer Hard Rock and Heavy Metal records? Boring down well-worn wormholes to them offerings always does my soul good. And stellar rock and metal they used to produce, and some still do to this day.

So, surfing about my review pipeline later I came across a sound reminiscent to what I just heard. On Top is their name and their new EP Top Dollar is their game.

And by Jove, they come along with a great swagger, throwing their Heavy Metal and Hard Rock infused rock’n’roll at you with a vengeance. A … [...] Click to raid more!
