Just one day before Lacuna Coil‘s newest album Sleepless Empire released mid February 2025, the band dropped a bomblet of a new video. At first, the RMR crew was somewhat unimpressed. The clip was based on I Wish You Were Dead, the most commercially accessible track on the whole album after all. Yet, this is also the most gothically tainted song on this album.

And sure enough, you’ll find a clip telling an almost stereotypical goth story of the beloved wanting to dispose of her mate in a colorful variety of creative ways. But all sorts of trouble … [...] Click to raid more!

“Our very first single in two years…”, Simone Simons crooned some time ago. Not quite true, The Alchemy Project of 2022 came and went without much reverb out in the fan crowd. But I guess, she meant Epica-owned music following in the wake of the astonishing Omega. But one can never be quite sure.

So, here the band’s back with a brand-new clip for their second-to-last song Machines. A clip that stopped the RMR crew dead in its tracks. The clip doesn’t shine with flamboyant cinematography throwing a thousand details at you all at once. You know, like … [...] Click to raid more!

Okay, let’s not bury the lede for once. Gojira absolutely smashed it over at the opening of the July 2024 French Olympics. An astoundingly powerful Death Metal performance in front of a felt billion people. The devil’s music on full display and the evening crowd in an uproar. And the RMR crew loved every second of it.

Controversy and pushing the envelope were clearly on the menu throughout the performance. Artistic director Thomas Jolly probably pushed his very own ideas of diversity at all costs a bridge too far. His statement that he wanted to – and I quote – … [...] Click to raid more!
