Some records sometimes take a little longer to sink into the RMR crew’s consciousness. And often the time must be right for them to get a review. Tomorrow’s Rain‘s Ovdan1 sailed about the sumpy depths of our review pipe for a while in search of an exit. But – the Review Desk’s been busy busting the nuts of Extreme Metal folks of the smelly underbelly of the metal multiverse.

2024 may very well turn into a new year where abject metal malevolence hits hard all over again. Seems to be a sign of the time with all that upheaval going on in the world around us.

Kvadrat - The Horrible Dissonance of Oblivion - Album Cover

And that’s how this band’s name – Kvadrat1 – immediately garnered some attention. And no, it wasn’t the killer artwork that made us pick up the piece this time. Much to the contrary, even if the 3D logo is kinda cool.

To define the quality of a record by the band name only would be silly, of course. From the moment The Horrible Dissonance of Oblivion struck our … [...] Click to raid more!
