Video: Serpent on the Cross, an invocation by Paradise Lost!

Paradise Lost - Serpent on the Cross - Video Cover

Ah, damn. Vacations make you miss things. When good ol’ RMR was pounding the sand and playing with giant squids, Paradise Lost here snuck in a clip right from Ze Kingdom Ov Doom. Already the title, Serpent on the Cross, should have jolted us awake through esoteric osmosis or something. But it didn’t, and here we are, late already for Ascension, the record dropping tomorrow.

The RMR crew was kind of wondering where PL would take this after Obsidian left us in 2020. And if Serpent on the Cross is any indicator, the going just got better. The … [...] Click to raid more!

Now, their 2022 piece, The Great Heathen Army, sailed right past RMR’s tiny shark-infested island. Back into the swamp, it was sent, where strange records slither unchecked. And it was the dime-a-dozen type of delivery that did it. Sure, you’ll find sturdy metal of the type the Amon Amarth crowd will relish. But it felt – generic, even for a Viking Metal piece.

So, … [...] Click to raid more!

Video: I Wish You Were Dead, Lacuna Coil’s fatal desires!

Lacuna Coil - I Wish You Were Dead - Video Cover

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!
