Rise to the Sky - Two Years of Grief - Album Cover

Methinks we just covered another one of Sergio González Catalán‘s musings. And sure enough, it was Winds of Tragedy, the blackened branch of this one-man band’s two-sided artistic spigot. Yet, the RMR crew had some reservations about that one with some elements that wouldn’t quite fit the mold.

Now, Rise to the Sky is back with Catalán on safe territories he knows best. And that is Doom Death Metal filled with weeping strings, soaring guitar riffs, and the relentless raw roar that is the man’s trademark. Every Day, A Funeral already impressed us with its sorrowful prowess. A … [...] Click to raid more!

Twitter - Bird hit by X

Yeehah, the RMR SEO folks just finished their first Twitter rant. And just as we dropped the pen and published the damned thing, good ol’ Elon Musk dropped the next pretty little bomblet on the unsuspecting masses of the elitist Twitterati. And it’s actually too juicy to just ignore. So, let’s have at it again! Or more succinctly put, let’s X it, shall we?

However, the band found a great replacement in the highly talented Todd La Torre back in 2012. And in time, the band managed to up the ante and produce material that seems to harken back in style and crispness to the olden golden days of this band’s glory.

Case in point, Tormentum – their newest video off their 2022 album Digital Noise Alliance – just dropped, and we … [...] Click to raid more!

Panzerchrist - Last of a King - Album Cover

After all that gallivanting about the shiny realm of the Metal o’ the Light, it is time to descend to the 10th circle of hell yet again. Doesn’t exist, you say? Well, wait until you taste the fare the new Panzerchrist record will slam onto your turntable.

And believe you me, this band will try to prove their point with a relentless attack of vile metal. Looks like all those staff changes paid off and the 10-year wait for new material wasn’t such a bad idea after all. Down to the torture chamber with you. Gory fun and games with … [...] Click to raid more!
