Croak! Ah, this is going to be a difficult one. The RMR crew already covered swampy gurgles in the past, emanating from slimy creatures dwelling in the rotting muck. Such pieces can get far with us. And besides, the RMR crew often fancies leaning into the slimy primordial soup of deathly prog.

But then, there are the highly technical bands as well. Acts run by nerds putting the term avant-garde to shame. Cases when prog guys get sick of prog1 and kick it a few miles up the proverbial ladder. And we just found one, but we’re equally unsure … [...] Click to raid more!

Cyprus is on the menu again and extreme metallers Blynd are on the prowl and back from hibernation. It took them a while to return from the undead since their 2015 piece Liber Sum aired. Their last record already packed a mighty punch. Now, let’s see what they were up to for the last 9 years or so. Judging by the daemonic artwork, this is gonna be harsh and straight down into the blackened pit.

Blynd‘s lineup – surprisingly – survived the almost decade-long waiting loop. Only Andreas Hadjipandeli newly joined the band in 2022 on guitars. And that … [...] Click to raid more!
