One thing is certain. Depravity, Slaughter the Giant‘s 2022 piece, made waves over here. Huge tidal waves. And astonishingly so, because the band’s abrasive style certainly ain’t everybody’s cup of witches’ brew.

Now, right on time for the Top 10 season, StG launch a new red-hot ballistic missile called Abomination. Judging by the cover art, it must be some monkey business in Hell’s Cathedral. Priests hung upside down and daemon’s running rampant. Or something. Let’s grab some Holy Water, if that works at all. We’re not quite sure anymore. Be afraid, be very afraid!

Abomination is a … [...] Click to raid more!

Enforced - A Leap into the Dark - Album Cover

The RMR crew just enjoyed a bout of olde thrash/trad goodness. Something so retro, it feels like a fucking time machine to the ’80s. But here, we got ourselves some young guns, comparatively speaking with some different flavor.

Enforced started back in 2016 and continued to move full steam ahead, brutalizing everything and everyone in its path. So far, RMR never had the pleasure to welcome them to our roster. And the experience for this short blurb has been like witnessing a bunch of MOABs (Mother of All Bombs) in uncontrollable detonations. A thunderous delivery that made us sit … [...] Click to raid more!

Dawnwalker record progression: Ages, 2020, 58 minutes, Black/Death/Prog/Post, all still somewhat metallic. House of Sand, 2022, 43 minutes, Post Metal, Progressive Rock, loads of ambient musings, and some psych. And lastly, this year’s The Unknowing, 38 minutes, mostly alternative and psych/prog rock, a wee bit of hidden ambients, and a few Post Metal moments. Interesting, isn’t it?

Dawnwalker is a free-wheeling act, to say the least. One that seems caught in the good ol’ 2-year Loop ov Creators’ Purgatory of ever-recurring new releases. And they have been at that particular game since 2016. However, the Law of … [...] Click to raid more!

Alright. We gotta further the cause of Power Metal some more. Veonity just aired a few days ago. And that makes – together with Hammerfall – all but two PM records on RMR for 2024. So, why not kick it up a notch or two and have a go at another one? After all, Orden Ogan and their new piece The Order of Fear waited patiently on the sidelines for a few months now.

A band with more active years under their belt than most readers can count as their own. Or let me put it that way: In 1996, … [...] Click to raid more!
