Oh gawd, the RMR crew had Greyhawk down as some funky element in Heavy Metal’s wonderworld with a mean operatic streak. And what do we find? Vocalist Rev Taylor apparently left the band in 2024, the release year of their record Thunderheart. To further his, well, operatic career, they said. There you go, suspicions confirmed. The RMR crew heard some rumblings from backstage that Greyhawk‘s crew had undergone some changes. So, that’s finally put to bed conveniently.

Warriors of Greyhawk, Greyhawk succinctly called their newest Greyhawk-y hawkishness. Now, if the choice of that title doesn’t sound … [...] Click to raid more!

Colossus whet our appetite. This was Fer de Lance‘s first entry ticket into the World o’ Metal. The RMR crew wasn’t mightily impressed but intrigued enough to let this one roar.

Tarot - Glimpse of the Dawn - Album Cover

Haha, I got ya there, right? You thought that good ol’ RMR would treat you to some Hietala fare from Finland. But not so. This here Tarot greets you from down under where they eat Vegemite Sandwich all day long, as Men At Work told us so many eons ago.1 When they’re not hunting crocodiles or shooting the shit in the local swamp bar, that is.

And the band’s specialty? It ain’t metal, that’s for sure. Glimpse of the Dawn sends you straight back to the ’70s of the last millennium. That’s when early prog rock went on a … [...] Click to raid more!
