Celestial Wizard - Regenesis - Album Cover

Celestial Wizard‘s 2022 piece, Winds of the Cosmos, never quite convinced us. The RMR crew let ‘er roar out of our mighty music machine. But nada, nothing would stick, or at least not enough to unstick it from the sump of the review pipe.

But here, the band is back with Regenesis, their newest concoction. And already the pulp fiction style, kinda oldish album cover got the better of us. Who can resist some sort of Western-style Grim Reaper on a pale horse in a saguaro-infested1 fantastical Arizona desert setting? Well, yours truly couldn’t. Go find … [...] Click to raid more!

Inhuman Condition - Mind Trap - Album Cover

Funny how that works out. The cheap-looking album covers of Inhuman Condition got us to pick up Rat God in the first place. There’s some twisted humor in there. These covers look like the front pages of them sleazy Pulp Fiction novels we used to buy many a decade ago. And somehow, the perpetrator’s mug kinda looks familiar. Or is it just me?

The band’s oldish … [...] Click to raid more!

But records boasting mini-Cthulhus on their album art with stories from cold plains must appear on our zine. H.P. Lovecraft is one of our favorite sources for horror stories after all.

And sure enough, Puteraeon here delve deep into the lore of primordial terrors that we cannot comprehend. And they do this with a real sturdy and pretty merciless brand of Swedish Death Metal unchanged by the eons spent on the cold wastes of Kadath. Let the Mountains of … [...] Click to raid more!

Stortregn - One Eternal - Album Cover

Usually, the RMR crew doesn’t respond to shoutouts to cover very short blurbs like that one. But here Stortregn appeared on our radar with a pretty loud bang. Impermanence of 2021 was the latest piece the review desk picked up, and it was a feisty one. For some reason, Finitude didn’t make it onto our review pipe, and it probably should have.

Now, we’re hearing that Romain Negro is seriously out the door and a new vocalist – Franck de Luca – is now in charge of destroying any sense of reasonable clean singing. And that is where the main … [...] Click to raid more!
