So, here’s to a metal band that started activities in 1983 and stayed active since then, with a damn heap of noticeable interruptions. Thrash and some Traditional Metal ever has been and still is its game. Well, kind of, with some variations. And no, the act ain’t called Metallica. Even if the Grammies seem to think that the latter are the only metal band around – at a global scale.

Some records sometimes take a little longer to sink into the RMR crew’s consciousness. And often the time must be right for them to get a review. Tomorrow’s Rain‘s Ovdan1 sailed about the sumpy depths of our review pipe for a while in search of an exit. But – the Review Desk’s been busy busting the nuts of Extreme Metal folks of the smelly underbelly of the metal multiverse. So, we now seem to be in sensory overload and ready for a welcome bit of moody blues, some thoughtful woeful soul, and melancholy galore. Ovdan is here and … [...] Click to raid more!
