Magnadur – Punishment of Hamlet (2025) – Review

Magnadur - Punishment of Hamlet - Album Cover

Didn’t we tell these guys to stay off our feed and not return? After this Beautiful Nightmare, Magnadur was good for the scrapyard. So, we turned the page and moved on. A waste of space in our music library. At least, this is what this crew thought.

Because, lo and behold, another manic piece of this Perrakoski dude threw itself into our feed. And that burning sensation brought about unfinished business with this band. It ain’t smart to mess with the geezers at the review desk over at the RMR office tower. Never, ever.1 So, here we go … [...] Click to raid more!

Nattradio – The Longest Night (2025) – Review

Nattradio - The Longest Night - Album Cover

You get the joke, don’t you? Nattradio boasted that all songs were written and recorded between 1 AM and 5 AM. Hence, also the album cover with the lonely, brightly lit window in the dark shape of the nightly high-rise.

Flat Earth Rider, their debut album, sounded like something concocted in one of Cirkus Prütz‘ abandoned giant tents in cahoots with some hidden weed producer. Allegedly. And that gave us hope for moar of that good ol’ bluesy stoner sound. Much moar and blended with harsher soundbites whenever the occasion required it.

Suncraft just returned to the stage with their sophomore piece, Welcome to the Coven. But wait, what? Where … [...] Click to raid more!

Dawnwalker – The Between (2025) – Review

Dawnwalker - The Between - Album Cover

Perhaps it was destiny that David Gilmour knocked at RMR’s steely gate late at night this fall and – to everybody’s surprise – garnered a review. For a solo piece he released in 2024, no less. So, the crew here basked in the creamy, warm light of smooth groove and established alt-rock with a flow addiction for a long while.

Fast forward to reality, and Dawnwalker just appeared on our radar. Again? It sounds like the Review Desk just did a piece on them – last year. And indeed so. The psychedelically tainted The Unknowing hit in 2024 and garnered … [...] Click to raid more!
