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.

So, what better idea than picking a band named after parasitic fungi. Will some crazytown loons be waiting just ahead at the dark end of the lane? Perhaps. Let’s find out what vile and ominously … [...] Click to raid more!

Alright, Wormed should form part of our n00b crowd at the RMR office tower. A list of established metal acts that – to this day – somehow didn’t make it on our roster yet. The band emerged from the vile depths of space in 1998 and produced all of – four full-length albums over all these years. But even with a scarce density like that, this band has exerted considerable influence on Brutal and Technical Death Metal over time.

RMR is no good with ‘established’ bands of the alleged metal mainstream. So, it’s no surprise that this band somehow sailed … [...] 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.

Hell:On - Shaman - Album Cover

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. Meaning, most of the culprits didn’t even make it over the threshold over here, but some like Saturnian Mist actually did.

So, the review desk didn’t have high hopes for Hell:On‘s latest record1, and the piece was thus already confined to the oubliette before it even garnered a closer look from the powers that … [...] Click to raid more!
