Ov Sulfur‘s debut album The Burden Ov Faith never reached our review pipe. 2023 was a busy year and – I reckon – there just was no time left in our 24-hour workdays to stuff yet another obscure Extreme Metal outfit into the fray. Besides, ‘core-ish material isn’t necessarily our daily bread, so we gave it a pass. Little did we know that this band would bang up a ruckus in the heavy music world ever since.

Deservedly so or not remains to be seen. Opinions and gruff misunderstandings have been mixed ever since, after all. So, this time, … [...] Click to raid more!

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!

Dimman – Consciousness (2025) – Review

Where did Jenna Kohtala go? That’s the first question that came to mind once we fired up Dimman‘s newest piece, Consciousness. On Songs and Tales of Grievance, she provided this perfect female counterweight. A much-needed feature to offset those male Neanderthal urges, maniacally roaring about the soundscape in search of a few mammoths to hunt.

The fact that Dimman morphed into a 4-piece all-male act was the second surprise. This may severely limit the possibilities this band has to improve on their sound and to take things to the next level.

So, the RMR crew is donning … [...] Click to raid more!
