Nanowar of Steel - Sober - Video Cover

RMR regulations strictly ban lyric video posts from publication on the ‘zine. And for cause. Low-budget clips like these won’t sport any stellar cinematography – at all. None, nada, zilch. And that is why, those won’t even warrant consideration. Usually.

But there’s always Nanowar of Steel to force an exception. After all, they’re the self-proclaimed masters of comedy – and they’re also good at it. After all, their Norwegian Reggaeton caused a lot of raucous uproar over here with its Latin tune and metallic antics. And the band got a few mentions from us on social media on a variety … [...] Click to raid more!

And now, well into 2023, Ren roars onto our radar with this tasty video called Hi Ren. And this clip would have had the chops to waltz straight to the top. Would. Because here we are, game’s over for 2022, and the lists are … [...] Click to raid more!

Ellende - Abschied - Video Cover

Whoa, sometimes one doesn’t see the forest for the trees. The insane rush towards moar full-length reviews often lets us forget that other gems might be lurking in plain sight.

And sure enough. Not that long ago, RMR covered Ellende‘s Ellenbogengesellschaft, a perfect specimen of what we call Forest Metal over here. Abschied,1 one of the main contributions on the record spawned a pretty snazzy video that somehow got lost in the fray, until now.

Beautiful wood-laden landscapes trade places with an older couple trying to enjoy their last bright moments together. It’s all about departure … [...] Click to raid more!
