RMR's 2025 Top 3 Videos and EPs! Skeleton in medieval town square filming.

The RMR crew finally decided to revive the Top 3 lists for EPs and Videos. The last iteration was back in 2022 with a more or less reasonable crop of juicy goodies. The output of ’23 and ’24 was – with exceptions – apparently never enough, so we gave both a pass. That said, 2025 got us a pretty wild selection of good-to-great shorties and some snazzy moving pictures. Thus, same as the lamestream n00b section, this here list rose from its ashes to shine once again in the dark glow of a very ominous 2025 that this reviewer … [...] Click to raid more!

Carach Angren -The Cult of Kariba - Album Cover

Carach Angren are, to this reviewer, similar to the folks over at Anaal Nathrakh. Both boast fundamentally different styles, of course.

Long time no hear, sez I. After their take on Frankenstein (or Franckensteina) left the gate, Carach Angren kinda disappeared from sight. A few deep knocks here and there, but nothing to write home to the Dark Lord about.

So, here they suddenly appeared on our radar with a thunderclap of a clip called Ik Kom Uit Het Graf. Meaning, ‘I come from the grave’, courtesy of infamous translators available on the wide interweb. And I never knew that Dutch could sound so menacing.

The track itself is a raspy malevolent rant taken from the band’s upcoming EP The … [...] Click to raid more!

RMR’s 2020 Top 10 Records

RockmusicRaider 2020 Top 10 Records

The terrible and unholy year of the Dark Lord 2020 was not as fertile as last year’s harvest would suggest. The crop yielded a fair amount of pretty excellent records. Yet, most of them erred on the good to very good territory1 and did not really qualify for that coveted top 10 spot.

After a slow start, things started to look more lively. At first, we thought that the progressive folks would pretty much deliver naught. Yet, suddenly we have a choice, and a difficult one at that.

Then we stumbled across folk pieces where there should be none, … [...] Click to raid more!
