Neverus - Burdens of the Earth - Album Cover

Neverus call their style Majestic Death Metal. There, that’s quite a statement. The cantankerous specimens over at the RMR review desk weren’t so sure what to make out of that metallic assault at first, though. Fleshgod Apocalypse’s King 2.0 or just an unholy concoction of unsavory mainstream ingredients? Time to paint that toque black, turn it inside out, and rip the recipe to shreds. Happy cooking!

Well, don’t we love those totally unknown underground bands that just hit our review pipe out of the left field? Actually, we do. They might never grow into the perfect clickbait that any webzine … [...] Click to raid more!

Ne Obliviscaris - Exul - Album Cover

Do not forget. That’s what the Latin name Ne Obliviscaris means. So, here we are, checking on a band that should have been on our radar already, judging by the wiseguy cracks out there. But what can I say, their 2017 piece Urn and all the others before them roared past our outlook at the top of the masthead unseen. So, they were indeed ‘forgotten’ by our review folks.

The RMR crew is always up to some new progressive fun. Enslaved just landed on our shores for the first time ever to surprisingly good results. Albeit, they’re not only prog … [...] Click to raid more!

Shores of Null - The Loss of Beauty - Album Cover

Shores of Null forcefully hit our pipeline with their one-liner Beyond The Shores (On Death And Dying) back in 2020. The somewhat clunky title hid a pretty snazzy piece of doom, spiced up by Elisabetta Marchetti‘s ethereal wails. And it turned out to be one of those one-track affairs, a challenge not to be taken lightly. Shores of Null‘s most monolithic 3rd full-length record to date and a great one at that. One that that ultimately made it onto our annual top 10 record list as well. And that’s a difficult feat to pull off, at the very … [...] Click to raid more!

Marauder - Metal Constructions VII - Album Cover

When the RMR webzine was still young back in 2016, Marauder hit our review pipe. And it’s funny, isn’t it? Seven years ago, at the beginning of our endeavor, Bullethead felt like that Heavy Metal piece we ever lusted after over all these years. Little did we know that much more of such excellent material would be heading our way over the years. So, since their last piece got undue attention, Heavy Metal got forever reaffirmed in a genre that we thought was pretty much dead. Bears the question, will Metal Constructions VII stand the test of time? After all, … [...] Click to raid more!
