Hell:On - Shaman - Album Cover

Let me be straightforward with you. Every record the RMR crew touched so far with sitar-infested shamanesque vibes was a failure. Either it wasn’t up to par or the lofty goals of the band were a tad too high-strung for their own good. Meaning, most of the culprits didn’t even make it over the threshold over here, but some like Saturnian Mist actually did.

So, the review desk didn’t have high hopes for Hell:On‘s latest record1, and the piece was thus already confined to the oubliette before it even garnered a closer look from the powers that … [...] Click to raid more!

Loki must have that content ‘gotcha’ smirk all over his visage, the animal.1 Because the RMR crew had these senseless deliberations yet again. And it’s all about the need for a ‘worst album of the year’ list. Yeah, that kind of thing. The reply from management – as always – is the same. RMR won’t usually push negative reviews for the simple reason that manpower and time available don’t sync. There’s an abundance of material to choose from, true. But only 24 hours in a day, and we’d add the night if we had to. So, what would you … [...] Click to raid more!

When I first read the title of Rorcal‘s newest pile of filth, I had to laugh. Silence – the contrary to what one expects from any of this band’s vanta black offerings. In fact, peace and quiet is what you will yearn for once the record is done with you. And it comes with a whopping 42 minutes of insane heaviness, so take heed.

Welcome to one of the vilest shards of some sort of Blackened Noize from Hell that 2023 threw at us to date. And there’s nothing pretty to see here. Ready? Jump right in if you … [...] Click to raid more!

Hierophant Violent didn’t quite work out for us. Don’t ask me why, Forlesen‘s debut album just didn’t click, despite the magnificent album art. It might have been a case of sensory overload, who knows? It does happen, though, when too much metal1 (real or wannabe) suddenly blows yer senses to smithereens. And that’s a pity because this band’s debut got rave reviews – and somehow the RMR crew just phased out.

So, here we got our second chance to get a review out to the fawning fanbase. At first sight – Black Terrain sounds like one of the … [...] Click to raid more!
