Blame Zeus‘ newest record Seethe has total aggression splashed right over it. That overheated rage that boils dangerously close underneath that very thin surface.

So, the RMR deck crew fired up the disk and let ‘er rip. Strapped into our chairs and ready for that atomic blast that surely would come our way.

But it looks like Blame Zeus won’t give us the volcano treatment. With violent and epic rock eruptions that would cover us all in burning ashes, like a rocky Pompei number two.

Or will they?

Well, at least not right away. Even if that whole narrative … [...] Click to raid more!

RockmusicRaider - Ghost - Live Wembley 2019

If you’re not familiar with Ghost, it is quite difficult to explain what they bring to the table. Even their musical style is questioned. Some call them a metal band, others scoff at the mention of such an idea and call them a rock band.

Apparently.

Yet and whilst their early work was (and still is) an attention-getter, Bölzer had their share of abject controversy. Mainly surrounding nazism, gross … [...] Click to raid more!

You guys ever heard about this newish outfit called Tvinna and their newest video The Gore? Well, neither did we. But it was a pretty cool fall surprise.

To find Fabienne Erni (Eluveitie) in full gothic metal make-up on an electronically challenged Pagan Folk piece is not something I did quite expect to see this year. But once we found Laura Fella (Faun) and Fiona Frewert (also Faun) on the list of that very same roster, the RMR deck crew had to give this new video a try.

Together with Fieke van den Hurk, Rafael … [...] Click to raid more!
