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.

Let me be straightforward with you. Every record the RMR crew touched so far with sitar-infested shamanesque vibes was a failure. Either it wasn’t up to par or the lofty goals of the band were a tad too high-strung for their own good.

Good, down-home Death Metal can be a cathartic experience. Specifically, the technical variant is one of those that will burn that mental fat right off your pitch-black soul. If you got one left, that is, of course. The RMR crew ain’t too sure anymore at times. We might have inadvertently sold something to a daemon or five on our forays into the occult, the blackest of Black Metal.

But I digress, back to the deathly ones. It has indeed been some time since real Death Metal brutality was on the menu over at the office tower. And this time, Hideous … [...] Click to raid more!

Drown in Sulphur - Dark Secrets of the Soul - Album Cover

Now, we’re a bit confused. Scarlet Records are usually known for their penchant for high-end Power Metal. But blatant Extreme Metal? That’s kinda unusual, but why the hell not? Especially when the material presented could well rival stuff peddled by bigger and more established outfits.

Already the band name Drown in Sulphur is darkly ominous, to say the least. That’s not a fate we wish to impose on our worst enemies. Right? But – in hindsight – nomen est omen, the record often exudes that odor of drowning in something unpleasant. Now, where’s that gas mask and full bodysuit? Chemical … [...] Click to raid more!
