RMR's 2024 Top 10 Records - Skull with earphones

2024 was a difficult year at first. It started very slow and apart from a few forlorn underground pieces, there wasn’t much that struck the fancy of the old geezers over at the RMR Review Desk. So, how were we ever going to field a genuine Top 10 series with no good material to show for? But fear naught, by late spring the crop started showing some promising results. And – boy – the harvest took a somber turn with many a malevolent piece hitting the desk of the surly Guardian ov the Review Pipe.

So, here we are. Dark … [...] Click to raid more!

Idiot Robot - Anti Pop Culture - Album Cover

Nomen est omen, right? The act’s called Idiot Robot.1 And I daresay, the moniker’s spot on with the duo’s new concoction called Anti Pop Culture.

Like one of them idiot monks enjoying a flagellation attack and the terrible cilice until the white mana spews forth, that kind of thing. But back to the Manson curse.

A phrase famously covered by Paradise Lost on their 1995 album Draconian Times… [...] Click to raid more!

Malevolent 2024 Series - Devils on a rampage

After an excellent crop of malevolent items showcased in the Year of the Dark Lord 2022, last year’s blood-thirsty urges didn’t warrant such a list. Allegedly. But for 2024, these terrible 365 days, there seems to be enough material to slake our thirst for the dark and daemonic. To the point that vile Death and Black Metal records started to pile up over at the RMR office. The consequence? RMR ended up with too much material than would be good for this here list. So, we had to make a choice. Only records exuding the vile breath of Astaroth were … [...] Click to raid more!
