RMR's 2023 Infamous Lamestream N00bs - Skeletal Metal Band

Ha! I got ya, didn’t I? Negative headlines indeed create clicks. You thought this was all about miserable underground bands nobody ever heard of. Snazzy ranting destroying the month-long efforts those outfits put in to eke out a living. Right? RIGHT?

Nope, it isn’t. Much to the contrary, this is all about established metal bands that the RMR Review Desk shamefully ignored for all those years. You know, because – mainstream. They may all represent hardened metal but they were also insanely successful, alive and kicking for decades, and show no signs of slowing down. Most of them don’t, of … [...] Click to raid more!

And – as always – this is yet another well-established Extreme Metal band that – somehow – never made it onto our smattering of lists.1 Yet more fodder for the dreaded guillotine on the RMR Altar ov Metal Ignorance.
