Niviane. The last time we looked at the band was in 2017 with their debut The Druid King. A record that just couldn’t convince us despite multiple listens. Even attempts to invoke the Stockholm syndrome didn’t quite work out that well. Their 2020 concoction The Ruthless Divine sailed past our shores unseen. Quite unsurprisingly so. This is one of these acts changing labels for every one of their records they reluctantly choose to release and not everyone of them is connected to the good ol’ RMR office tower.

Now, another five years have gone by, and Queen of … [...] Click to raid more!

Nyrak - Devourer of All - Album Cover

Melancholy, oh terrible melancholy. A rich tapestry of downtrodden deathly vibes slowly wafts our way straight down from Belgium. From haunted graveyards on cursed hills hidden in the mists of time. Holy moly, the things just looking at the album art might conjure up from nothingness and decay.

Well, the saga continues. Here’s yet another candidate to reach the lofty peaks of our lamestream n00b list. Insanely popular metal bands that exist (more or less) since the Dawn of The Metal Beast. But for some reason, they didn’t quite make it onto our swampy review pipe, despite their notoriety and undeniable success. The reasons range from no need for mainstream bands to too dumb to tango.

So, yet again, we’ll be exploring how this here metal survivor would fare with a contemporary look at today’s offering without any regard to their past actions. In other words, the very … [...] Click to raid more!

The RMR crew was forever mesmerized by Folkesange, Myrkur‘s 2020 piece. Full-throttle and somewhat unhinged folk, tongue-in-cheek, with that hidden evil streak that renders Ms. Bruun‘s records so alluring. And I still vibrantly remember when M hit, that excellent piece so full of controversy. Half of the extreme metal adepts were foaming at the mouth and the rest kinda careened between disbelief and adoration. All of that led to an excellent brand of filigrane yet blackened fury that the RMR crew always found alluring.

So, here Spine hits our review pipe with some funky splash. Amalie Bruun… [...] Click to raid more!
