Woe! After an abject cheese-laden sugar high in the warm embrace of Metal o’ the Light, it is finally time for some trve brutality. Death Metal is on the menu and the folks over at Rise of Tyrants are enraged to the point of obsession.

Meaning, they’re on a mission to tell their story. Directly, ferociously, and without mercy. And why should they show any? The storyline is about priestly abuse, no less. Atrocities that the Roman Catholic Church is still trying to hide to this date. Assignment fully accomplished, or rampant mission creep? Creepy crawlers in empty smoke-infested buildings.… [...] Click to raid more!

Maceration - Serpent Devourment - Album Cover

Rogga Johannson anybody? The RMR crew feared for a moment that the geek-in-chief of Swedeath is on the prowl again. But not so.

Nile - The Underworld Awaits Us All - Album Cover

A short while ago, RMR tackled a feisty mix of mainly dissonance and tech death, served on a platform of overwrought occultism. A peculiar set of styles that somehow worked nonetheless. Oddly so, but it did. So, why not continue with yet another tech death act that waited for attention over here for a few months now? Nile‘s the name, and The Underworld Awaits Us All is the game. But man, did the overindulging fanbois and girls swoon over this record that comes with a cover art sporting a wave or vortex of something that must not be … [...] Click to raid more!
