Ah, methinks that the RMR team moves fast and furiously down that danger-infested and tribulation-laden Doom Metal road lately. And down it goes, ever down this slippery pathway, until you hit the flagstones in yonder dark cave.

This is where Loathfinder dwell and blast off their debut offering The Great Tired Ones

Their brand of blackened Doom Death Metal comes with a heavy slugging sound, seemingly telling of some unknown terror moving down on you. Kind of along the lines of My Silent Wake, only much meatier. Vanha on a low-tempo rampage with loads of Colosso mixed in … [...] Click to raid more!

RockmusicRaider Review - My Silent Wake - Damnatio Memoriae - Album Cover

Doom Metal is one of the most fascinating genres in the metal multiverse. Ranging from clear voice and female-fronted outfits, like Draconian, over the Peaceville Three to the slow marches of Funeral Doom.

And it is all about emotion. Some project tear-drenched sadness. And others again go for angry desolation, fueled by everyday issues and concerns.

Whoever said all Australians are laid back and cool? Beer in hand and BBQ fired up, chasing crocodiles? Because this here band is anything but that. Or so it seems when their monstrous sound hits your eardrums.

Hailing from Perth way out West in Australia, the Extreme Metal band Deadspace presents us with a seething hot chunk of metal. Their 2016 EP Gravity sloshes around a life-cycle or – should I say – a perpetual cycle theme of birth, life, death and re-birth. 

The record sounds like the magician’s apprentice musical experiment taken over by the forces of chaos. Extreme dissonance interchanges with crazily tilted atmospheric and ambient interludes. … [...] Click to raid more!

The new year is still fresh, so what better moment than this one to reflect on some old metal for a change?

Old? The ’90s are old? Well, yeah, if you look at the rapid-fire development all things metal have taken since then. We sure show a totally different landscape today if compared to all these years ago.

And for sure again, if you look at the style changes Rotting Christ took over the years to the present day. Triarchy of the Lost Lovers really got us a fresh look at things and delivered powerfully well.

In essence, 1996 was a year of turning
