Moon Mother – Meadowlands (2026) – Review

Moon Mother - Meadowlands - Album Cover

Flying high on rage and ferocity is somewhat easy for a metalhead. And this here crew is full of ’em hungry gobblers of sharp metal shards. But as RMR’s credo flies, this zine ain’t only about Bastards from Asgard, the evil musings of the daemonic squad, or brutal evicerations in Death Metal country. Far from it.

A somewhat underdeveloped but important part of our musical triarchy @ RMR is rock and its many facets. And quite often, those records, so different from our usual fare in mood and texture, must meet the right moment for an in-depth investigation. That glimpse … [...] Click to raid more!

Depravity – Bestial Possession (2025) – Review

Depravity - Bestial Possession - Album Cover

2025 had its share of Brutal Death Metal. And it went something like this: The horrors of Castrator led to Insatiable Violence, which again insinuated the Lust of Decay and finally ended in Depravity. The name of a band from down under that nicely finished this year of mixed reviews. Plus an astonishing number of rants to round things up some.

And while Extreme Metal had more difficulty making it over the threshold over here this year, this is still a pretty astonishing crop of metal atrocities. The grouchy old geezers over at the RMR Review desk took
