Ecr.Linf – Belluaires (2024) – Review

Ecr.Linf - Belluaires - Album Cover

2024 brought us our share of French Black Metal already. Seth and Corpus Diavolis are just two of them. Powerful occult Black Metal pieces that will beat the fear of Lucifer into you. Some of it is presented in French, no less. An attribute that the RMR crew has trouble resisting. Extreme Metal works best in that specific language. Latin-based, Luciferian, just good. Even if Satan – apparently – resides somewhere in London.

But we got ourselves other flavors, too. A band bizarrely named Ecr.Linf1 offers an equally bizarre Black and Post Black Metal fest. Belluaires struggles against – … [...] Click to raid more!

Entomophthora – Instinctual Disease (2024) – Review

Entomophthora - Instinctual Disease - Album Cover

After the disappointing performance of the Rogga Brigade, the RMR crew yearned for some trve brutality. Death Metal ready to rip the flesh off your bones. Bestowed with a gazillion greasy hooks that will suck you into the darkly glowing underground. Oh, and none of that friendly gurgling and burpy wet schmoozing of the cadaver gang allowed.1 A redline not to be crossed.

Marche Funèbre - After The Storm - Album Cover

The RMR crew was a bit reticent to entertain the idea of yet another Doom Metal piece on RMR’s roster this year. After all, our daily lives seem to be inundated by bigly yet terrifying news and ominous warnings. All about the end(s) of the world in a variety of foreboding paintings and dark musings. And truly so, every disaster-loving fearmonger out there kinda describes a new one.

But what can we say? A new Marche Funèbre piece needs some serious attention. So, in we jump into this miasma of tears and wistful woe and get going. Signs of the … [...] Click to raid more!

Severe Torture - Torn from the Jaws of Death - Album Cover

First, all of you non-metalheads or wannabes, get out. This ain’t for the faint of heart and the adepts of Metal o’ The Light. Unless you wish to be bludgeoned with Brutal Death Metal of the best Neanderthal fashion, of course. The kind that will leave your ears bleeding and your earphones in shambles. If so, take the Black Pill (the blue and red variants won’t work here) and come in. But you’ll be on your own. Nobody will come to your rescue should this fare not be to your taste. You’ve been warned.
