Alright, these folks caught the seasoned old wizards of RMR’s Best off guard. For about two seconds, the sinners of the review desk thought this was about the Death Metal doomsters of Noumena, the band without the I. Nice try, guys.

But no, here we deal with a much more modern quirk of the metal multiverse. The band is called Noumenia, and they’re looking for Echoes. A record that seems to emerge straight from ‘core country yet again. Not a direction we want to turn into too often. But this Band o’ Strange Sisters screamed themselves into … [...] Click to raid more!

Where did Jenna Kohtala go? That’s the first question that came to mind once we fired up Dimman‘s newest piece, Consciousness.

Lauren Babic - Too Much and Never Enough - Album Cover

Those who have followed the RMR zine for a while, probably discovered that we like the unexpected and the weird. Genre-benders that go out on a limb to stand out and shine. But only if the stuff they strut is well done and has some valor attached.

Meet Lauren Babic and her EP Too Much and Never Enough. She mixes synth-pop songs with some beatz and metallic musings. Something like Taylor Swift on speed from a dark and dystopian universe. First, you’ll get some poppy tunes thrown at ye. But those morph quickly into some caustic Punk attack. … [...] Click to raid more!
