They keep on rolling in this year, don’t they? All those mainstream extreme metal music bands with their time-worn tropes and decade-long experience adding fodder to our list of RMR n00bs of established outfits. Bands with distinguished careers and undeniable influence on metal music that – for some reason – never made it onto the RMR ‘zine.

So, meet Cattle Decapitation and their latest lovechild Terrasite.1 Yet another established band to be gleefully butchered on the RMR Altar ov Metal Ignorance. Because the RMR review desk won’t give a damn what came before. The present is all that … [...] Click to raid more!

Vvon Dogma I - The Kvlt of Glitch - Album Cover

The RMR review pipe of early 2023 seems to attract all types of abstract or out-of-the-box pieces. Records that usually should not co-exist with all that metal over here. But somehow, they still do. Funky, huh? But – you see – comfortable metal tropes are good for the soul. Yet sometimes you need to push the boundaries until you meet the glitch. Kvltish technocrats brutally unchained!

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!

Isole - Anesidora - Album Cover

A good piece of doom is always welcome here. Not that the RMR crew consists of a bunch of morose doomsayers, far from it. But there’s some allure in a juicy slab of tear-drenched misery.

And yet, true Doom Metal geekery has been pretty much absent on the ‘zine for 2023. Much to our chagrin, of course.1 But this might change with some pretty cool records still in the woodwork and one auspicious record that hit our review pipe with a pretty mighty bang some time ago.

And that record is Isole‘s Anesidora. Interestingly, two members of … [...] Click to raid more!
