It has been a while. Saille was seen last on this zine in 2021 with their pretty snazzy piece, V. A true creature of the metal underground that took this crew by storm. But since then? Nada. The silence of the lambs. The lightbringer probably took a break from feeding this gang of acolytes with fodder for the evil and depraved. Or, maybe, he was busy elsewhere in the world with some Grand Mal of power politics. You fill in the blanks.

Fast forward to 2026, and they’re back on our mighty radar. Now signed to Non Serviam Records, … [...] Click to raid more!

Trollzorn Records are always good for a metal surprise or two. In 2025, they steadily fed us German underground fare and landed two hits onto our roster, Bergthron and Thorondir.

Ov Sulfur‘s debut album The Burden Ov Faith never reached our review pipe. 2023 was a busy year and – I reckon – there just was no time left in our 24-hour workdays to stuff yet another obscure Extreme Metal outfit into the fray. Besides, ‘core-ish material isn’t necessarily our daily bread, so we gave it a pass. Little did we know that this band would bang up a ruckus in the heavy music world ever since.

Deservedly so or not remains to be seen. Opinions and gruff misunderstandings have been mixed ever since, after all. So, this time, … [...] Click to raid more!

Ready for a secret from the RMR office? Choices of what or what not to review are sometimes driven by mood. Specifically, by bad mood. And this time, the RMR crew still finds itself on a never-ending cold turkey trip. Abrupt removal from the beach and its delights does that to us, and it turns us into grumpy and cantankerous bitches.

So, what better idea than to waltz down some psycho-punk horror lane straight into the smelly puddles lining the metal underground? ‘Xactly, none whatsoever. A place where sanity flies out the door and is replaced by the dredges of … [...] Click to raid more!
