Archspire – Too Fast to Die (2026) – Review

Archspire - Too Fast To Die - Album Cover

Attention metalverse!! We got ourselves yet another case of nomen est omen in Extreme Metal. Archspire are back with a new red-hot item called Too Fast To Die, the successor to Bleed The Future1 from ’21. And boasting a moniker reeking of staleness that sounds so James Bond, you wanna throw up into a bucket.

But, this new piece may very well prove prophetic in more ways than one. So, fasten your seatbelt, speed will be of the essence this time and those traffic fines be damned.


One thing is clear, Inferi just grew themselves some competition. And … [...] Click to raid more!

Wolfbastard – Satanic Scum Punks (2026) – Review

Wolfbastard - Satanic Scum Punks - Album Cover

Oyez, oyez, oyez, ye people of the lowlands! Wolfbastard are up to their gruesome ways again. And their fury is blazing hot, enough to chase Lucifer away. The last time over, they mercilessly hammered robed priests to a pulp. This time, they take an unholy liking to broken bottles in dark street corners.

And since then, the man with the most prolific artistic loins known to the modern metal world has never left this zine. And how could he? Wherever we turn in Northern-leaning Death Metal, suddenly, his bearded mug appears from the props.

And boy, the man boasts a roster of active bands that always makes my head spin. How on earth he keeps track of all those different ideas living in his head at the same time is a … [...] Click to raid more!

Obscurity – Ascheregen (2026) – Review

Obscurity - Ascheregen - Album Cover

Trollzorn Records are always good for a metal surprise or two. In 2025, they steadily fed us German underground fare and landed two hits onto our roster, Bergthron and Thorondir. That’s not a bad crop to reap on a webzine like ours with limited firepower and crew members beset with bad taste and terrible decision-making urges.

So, it looks like the RMR crew will get moar German roar as 2026 finally takes off to tastier shores. And this time it is meaty Death Metal with blood dripping still from its recently dissected innards. Raw and furious, that’s kinda what … [...] Click to raid more!
