This is what happens when you select your records to review based on the smart looks of the album cover only. And it is indeed a sublime piece of art glaring back at you from Magnadur‘s latest concoction.1

Other considerations surfaced as well, of course. Such as this band hitting the metal underground out of nowhere in 2024. And with two full-length records under their belt that same year, they concocted a third one – Beautiful Nightmare – this early 2025. The RMR crew saw similar action before, and it wasn’t pretty. So, what’s the deal here? … [...] 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. The RMR crew let that one grind on our mighty music system from time to time over the last months. And each time it got brutally scuttled at about halfway through the tracklist.

Loki must have that content ‘gotcha’ smirk all over his visage, the animal.1 Because the RMR crew had these senseless deliberations yet again. And it’s all about the need for a ‘worst album of the year’ list. Yeah, that kind of thing. The reply from management – as always – is the same. RMR won’t usually push negative reviews for the simple reason that manpower and time available don’t sync. There’s an abundance of material to choose from, true. But only 24 hours in a day, and we’d add the night if we had to. So, what would you … [...] Click to raid more!

Alestorm - Seventh Rum of a Seventh Rum - Album Cover

Do you know Mallorca, the sunny island in the warm Mediterranean sea? A haven for cheap mass tourism and a modern Tortuga for the good ol’ booze-crazed party folk. And it’s also the questionable home of the Ballermann (for the Germans) or Magaluf (for you Brits reading this), seedy miles of artificial glitzy fun that spawned their very own gaudy pop stars. I kid you not.

The only thing that’s missing is probably a very own Alestorm Pirate Bar or something. A place to boost your moonshine-guzzling savvy up to that famed seventh rum. A tasty new opportunity for an … [...] Click to raid more!
