Los Disidentes Del Sucio Motel - Breath - Album Cover

Here’s to one small blurb I wanted to cover for a while. Back in 2021, Los Disidentes del Sucio Motel got some mileage out of RMR for their Polaris record. Not the easiest of fares and somewhat difficult to get into. But it was worth it and sufficiently out of the box to keep our interest levels up and sharp.

But since that particular record hit our review pipe, nothing much happened. So, very late in 2023 and in full listing season, LDDSM launched Breath at the public. At the worst possible moment, I might add. Unsurprisingly, the EP lost … [...] Click to raid more!

The RMR crew just covered Lacuna Coil‘s 2025 Sleepless Empire piece. And the merciless judges over at the RMR Review Desk found the band’s newest chunk of alloy quite to their taste. Now, if you remember, the last two records, Delirium and Black Anima, found effusive praise from all corners of LC‘s fan universe. And these two pieces were indeed quite impressive.

Nostalgic Rock Band with Juke Box - Blasts from the Past 2024

What can I say, we can’t help it. Our revolutionary genes kicked in yet again in 2024. Rulez have been broken and oldish content was covered with abandon. Well, the sinning wasn’t quite that severe. But the selection of Blasts from the Past is kinda juicy nonetheless, ranging from Prog geekery to brvtish metallic wiolence. The kind of thing that will keep you entertained and your hackles up at the same time.

Welcome to a new selection of crazy alloys and strange archaeological finds!

Opeth - Still Life - Album Cover

For some time, the RMR crew wanted to expand on Opeth. The Swedish prog band of some (a lot of) notoriety captured our attention last with their 2019 piece In Cauda Venenum. A record that didn’t have us all enamored almost five years ago. The poisoned tail was indeed one of those love/hate pieces that will have the hardcore fanboi wallow in the highest praise. Whereas more critical spirits might beg to differ somewhat.

So, not that long ago, RMR covered The Moor‘s latest full-length record, an Italian (wannabe) prog band gone Modern Metal. Some feedback about … [...] Click to raid more!
