RMR's 2024 Top 10 Records - Skull with earphones

2024 was a difficult year at first. It started very slow and apart from a few forlorn underground pieces, there wasn’t much that struck the fancy of the old geezers over at the RMR Review Desk. So, how were we ever going to field a genuine Top 10 series with no good material to show for? But fear naught, by late spring the crop started showing some promising results. And – boy – the harvest took a somber turn with many a malevolent piece hitting the desk of the surly Guardian ov the Review Pipe.

So, here we are. Dark … [...] Click to raid more!

Malevolent 2024 Series - Devils on a rampage

After an excellent crop of malevolent items showcased in the Year of the Dark Lord 2022, last year’s blood-thirsty urges didn’t warrant such a list. Allegedly. But for 2024, these terrible 365 days, there seems to be enough material to slake our thirst for the dark and daemonic.

So, we had to make a choice. Only records exuding the vile breath of Astaroth were … [...] Click to raid more!

And they must have summoned something in the process. Because here – suddenly – Corpus Diavolis appear on our radar with yet another ritualistic piece, darkly glowing in the colors of the flesh.

An offering that’s atrociously salacious and prone for demonetization by the social media whackos. But who are we kidding? The putrid juices are spewing forth, fueled by a vile elixir. Elixiria Ekstasis, they called it. Some sort … [...] Click to raid more!

RockmusicRaider review - Corpus Diavolis - Apocatastase - Album Cover

What else can you get out of France apart from great food and leisurely culture trips? ‘Xactly. Black Metal, lots of that. Already the French language presents itself well for satanic messaging, as Rotting Christ already aptly demonstrated1 years back. Then you got those reveling in the most recent massive church burning in France. Or – again – the ritualistic folks from Corpus Diavolis that RMR took a liking to already for their former piece of 2017.

Now, this band won’t necessarily invoke their daemons in French as others do. Instead, they speak in tongues, as the devil should, … [...] Click to raid more!
