Dusk – Bunker (2026) – Review

Dusk - Bunker - Album Cover

Blackened, disjointed, and unsettingly smelly items already graced our review pipe in the past, no doubt. Need an example? It was only last year, to be precise. Magnadur was the act’s name, and they hit rock bottom with us not once, but twice in 2025. An anal avalanche of Synthwave-imbued pseudo metal shards to crush yer opponents. Or something. You really need to let that one sink in for a while. Utter self-destruction, because of – well – an inability to harness one’s own psychedelic ideas and turn them into something coherent.

And that’s all the more frustrating because the … [...] Click to raid more!

Domhain – In Perfect Stillness (2026) – Review

Domhain - In Perfect Stillness - Album Cover

Let’s think out of the box for a moment, shall we? I was bitching at someone lately who thought that the trve spirit of Black Metal has gone missing. And by that the commentator probably meant those early days when churches were burning and murders committed in a daemonically confused frenzy of bible studies gone astray.

Greyhawk – Warriors of Greyhawk (2026) – Review

The RMR crew heard some rumblings from backstage that Greyhawk‘s crew had undergone some changes. So, that’s finally put to bed conveniently.

Aeon Gods – Reborn to Light (2026) – Review

Aeon Gods - Reborn To Light - Album Cover

Power Metal hasn’t been on the menu yet for this early 2026. So, it’s high time to get another one out into the open that recently struck our fancy. 2025 had a good run with them. The offerings of DarkTribe, Helloween, or – again – Moonlight Haze seriously destroyed some of our loudspeakers over here. But – all of those were comparatively ‘serious’ pieces run by bands taking good care not to slather unwanted fat ‘n’ sugar everywhere.

So, the RMR crew went a-searching for that new over-the-top exuberant record, magnanimously plastering cheese wherever they shouldn’t. Aeon Gods[...] Click to raid more!
