Viande – Monument Aux Morts (2026) – Review

Viande - Monument Aux Morts - Album Cover

In trying times like these, what better idea than to sit your ass down with some truly vile metal? It will (hopefully) burn the mental fat off your grey matter real fast and help get rid of this aggression fest aimlessly careening about your skull.

And today I have a special suggestion that will brutally expel vegetarians and vegans, too. Not that they cannot partake in this endeavor, far from it. But they’re not gonna like the smells and texture of this particular meal.

Viande1, the band, brings you the putrid fare you need. Terrible fetid musings in … [...] Click to raid more!

Non Serviam – La Lune Dont Mon Âme Est Pleine (2026) – Review

Non Serviam - La Lune Dont Mon Âme Est Pleine - Album Cover

Non Serviam. An anarchistically driven chaos troupe masquerading as a metal band. Their last record, Le Coeur Bat,1 was so atrociously underwater that it didn’t even make it to publication over here.

Or, unsung confusing acts that seemed to veer off the deep end in the Northern cold wastelands, but finally succeeded astonishingly well. But some misunderstood that disjointed disjointedness doesn’t mean just mindless chaos. And they spectacularly failed. Not once, but twice. I guess some will never learn, and those have now been banned from coverage on RMR.

Meaning, the RMR crew kinda likes these revolutionaries. Adepts of … [...] Click to raid more!

Suffering – Things Seen But Always Hidden (2025) – Review

Suffering - Things Seen But Always Hidden - Album Cover

The RMR crew liked this metaphor of the red door. The entrance you never want to use, but some compulsive urge takes you there no matter what. It is a bit like this overused Hotel California theme1 of long times past. You can run, but you can never leave, that kind of thing. And wherever you go, suddenly you see that red door appearing out of the poisoned mist. Do you remember the age-old movie The Shining? ‘Xactly, there is a feeling of dread with them doors, colored any which way, that you should never enter.

And it’s not … [...] Click to raid more!
