One thing is certain. Depravity, Slaughter the Giant‘s 2022 piece, made waves over here. Huge tidal waves. And astonishingly so, because the band’s abrasive style certainly ain’t everybody’s cup of witches’ brew.

Now, right on time for the Top 10 season, StG launch a new red-hot ballistic missile called Abomination. Judging by the cover art, it must be some monkey business in Hell’s Cathedral. Priests hung upside down and daemon’s running rampant. Or something. Let’s grab some Holy Water, if that works at all. We’re not quite sure anymore. Be afraid, be very afraid!

Abomination is a … [...] Click to raid more!

Alright. We gotta further the cause of Power Metal some more. Veonity just aired a few days ago. And that makes – together with Hammerfall – all but two PM records on RMR for 2024. So, why not kick it up a notch or two and have a go at another one? After all, Orden Ogan and their new piece The Order of Fear waited patiently on the sidelines for a few months now.

A band with more active years under their belt than most readers can count as their own. Or let me put it that way: In 1996, … [...] Click to raid more!

Power Metal hasn’t been much in play for the RMR zine this year. The malevolent undercurrents of the metal underbelly gained a lot more heft and that went to the detriment of the Metal o’ The Light. The Swedes from Hammerfall rose to questionable fame this year, being the only Power Metal outfit to date in 2024 on RMR. And that lands us with Veonity and their new piece The Final Element. More Swedish metallic power to embellish our somewhat overly daemonic stance on this year’s roster.

Premonition already got us confused, though. The band grandly states that the absence … [...] Click to raid more!

So, here’s to a metal band that started activities in 1983 and stayed active since then, with a damn heap of noticeable interruptions. Thrash and some Traditional Metal ever has been and still is its game. Well, kind of, with some variations. And no, the act ain’t called Metallica. Even if the Grammies seem to think that the latter are the only metal band around – at a global scale.

Nasty Savage play a barebone style of brutal Thrash Metal that was modern back in the ’80s and never evolved since. All of that ferocious nastiness is led by … [...] Click to raid more!
