Undergang - De syv stadier af fordærv - Album Cover

You know, some time ago we covered a band that somewhat overdid it in so many ways. One part of their sins was a totally overwrought interpretation of Death Metal. The RMR crew opined at that time that we occasionally love ourselves a good gurgle. But – of course – this must be done with mastery or all that phlegm-filled depravity will not be worth it. And since that time we scouted the vast Death Metal universe for just THAT band.

Luckily, Undergang just came along with a short blurb. De syv stadier af fordærv they called their concoction. And … [...] Click to raid more!

Orphalis - As The Ashes Settle - Album Cover

What about – some Brutal Death Metal lost in translation with Technical Death Metal?

The folks over at the RMR review desk are big fans of Heavy Metal. Yes, THAT genre again. The one that’s refusing to die with age-old bands still thriving on it to this day. And some of them are still stadium fillers, believe it or not. But there’s not only the old geezers still out there, you also find pretty good young guns hard at work to keep things alive.

Those bands – old or young – still draw on the mana from the first waves of Heavy Metal and definitely the NWOBHM1 era. And many of today’s activists … [...] Click to raid more!

Sanguine Glacialis - Maladaptive Daydreaming - Album Cover

We like them pig-headed and unhinged over here. Proud from the underground, unknown bands that reach us seemingly from nowhere. Complete with some delicious chaos that we will find difficult to describe and rate correctly.

Sanguine Glacialis have been around the block a few times, obviously. After all, the band started brandishing its wares since 2010 or so. They’re thus not necessarily unknown to the initiated. But they indeed sailed straight past the RMR sentinels with their somewhat confused 2018 piece Hadopelagic.

Yet, their newest piece Maladaptive Daydreaming shook the sleepy old geezers over at the RMR review desk … [...] Click to raid more!
