The RMR crew likes itself a bit of abject gurgling from time to time. Death Metal so far underground that no discernible syllable remains audible after the theme is finally destroyed, buried, and the remains fed to hell’s minions dwelling at those unspeakable depths. And usually, such outrageously delicious delivery rolls in on top of a solid wall o’ sound tighter than the devil’s ass.

And we might just have found ourselves another one. This time not from the usual corners in the US and Europe, but from Indonesia of all places. But then, we hear that Brutal Death Metal … [...] Click to raid more!

Woe, it must be Death Metal week over at the RMR Review Desk. First, these guys graced our roster with their presence, and now, a decision has been made to descend further down into the abyss. The one filled with subdued, putridly liquid riffs and unintelligible growls with not a shred of any clear voice in sight. Realms of the metal underbelly that are buried deeper than most. Extremes where the boundaries between Black and Death Metal blur.

And today I have a special suggestion that will brutally expel vegetarians and vegans, too. Not that they cannot partake in this endeavor, far from it. But they’re not gonna like the smells and texture of this particular meal.

Viande1, the band, brings you the putrid fare you need. Terrible fetid musings in … [...] Click to raid more!

It has been a long time since a true Melodic Death Metal piece crossed our hawse. The RMR crew discovered a bunch of ‘-ish’ guys but nothing as strongly forged as any Insomnium piece would be.

But what about some refreshing new sound that should dig this (tired old) genre out of its hole and let it soar again? They do exist, you know. The US act Fires in the Distance appears to be one of them. They kinda flew by our review pipe in 2023 when their piece Air Not Meant For US was released. But for some reason, … [...] Click to raid more!
