Now, wait a minute. Karisma Records, some strange building, haphazardly cast into nature. We had that before, right? Correct. It was Ljungblut, that guy telling us about a cabin in the Norwegian mountains. So, that’s why the album cover fascinated us right away.

Now, the core of Liminal Sky consists of two members only, Jaime Gomez Arellano, a known producer and musician, and Daniel Knight (Messenger), both based in the UK. Arellano flickered by a few times on this zine, the last incident being the late Cnoc An Tursa record for mastering. So, why doesn’t the album boast … [...] Click to raid more!

Impure Wilhelmina - Le sanglot - Album Cover

Admitted. The RMR crew heard the name of this act mentioned on some occasions. Unsurprisingly so, as some of the RMR crew practically sit atop Impure Wilhelmina‘s main location. Not that the folks around Michael Schindl have an inkling of this. And besides, our bunch here changes location often, so one day this is true and the next no more. And that’s a good thing, by the way. After all, discretion is the iron rule in this business. Fraternization, in contrast, is poison to good anonymous review-smithing, that kind of thing. It’s not all that stringent, of course, but … [...] Click to raid more!

Looking at the band pic, the RMR crew thought these guys emerged from somewhere out of the scorched US South. Around the Tucson/Tombstone area, where the rocks are gritty and the cacti huge. Y’know, good ol’ Wyatt’s ancient hunting grounds, now turned tourist trap. Thereabouts.

But not so. Obey The Sun hail from Hungary, of all places. But I gotta admit, they play their part well. The way they chew craggy rock just like ’em parched good ‘uns straight out of those dusty arroyos down there draws us like a bear to honey. Saguaro country comfort right there. Or do … [...] Click to raid more!

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!
