Does anybody remember the folks of SAVN? The Gothic Metal jockeys with only one self-titled album to their credit, dating back to 2014. The one fronted by Carmen Elise Espenæs, you know, Liv Kristine‘s sister. Now, this record was literally the first really failed record of this zine’s long career. And we’re still traumatised. But to this day, we just can’t stand the weak tea metal this record exudes in abundance.

So here we got ourselves a piece from an obscure act called Darkyra. One that sounds eerily similar to the aforementioned band. Their 3rd full-length Life Force… [...] Click to raid more!

Holy moly, I never knew we were going to review a W.A.S.P. record. The RMR crew steered clear of that overly glamorous genre for some time. After all, the whole idea pretty much turned into roadkill on the Sunset Strip some time ago. With a few remarkable exceptions, I give them that. But – wait, what? This ain’t W.A.S.P.? Damn.

And sure enough, our swampy review pipe just regurgitated an Australian band called Sabïre. An outfit that – apparently – had its coming out event on this planet back in 2010 and was active ever since with a few … [...] Click to raid more!

GLDN stated that he wasn’t done yet and needed to inflict more blood-soaked wares on the unsuspecting audience in 2022. Some more unspeakable and poorly constructed things from the same bitter well? Presumably.

Soit!1 As we say in French!

So, here’s to another round of messy debauchery. For those in the know, RMR already covered the New York-based band earlier in the year on their EP First Blood and we weren’t entirely impressed. To say the least. And now Hemophilia got sent our way. Vampiric blood drain in action, that kind of thing.

Interestingly, this second attempt at fame … [...] Click to raid more!

I am stumped. Sometimes you’ll find a ton of talent in a band. But for some reason, their work somehow doesn’t shine the way it should. And still. As a reviewer, you want to leave a few comments at the door. Because you see the potential, and it’s almost painful how these outfits seem to destroy their very own creation with the stroke of a few watery guitar riffs and a sloppy production.

Tough love or lost time and energy that would have been spent better elsewhere? Hold on to something. This may be beyond your usual Six Flags rollercoaster … [...] Click to raid more!
