Vredehammer - God Slayer - Album Cover

Well, look what slithered into daylight from under an ancient rock. RMR searched far and wide for an Extreme Metal record so vile, barbarous, and savage, it had the potential to blow bands like Anaal Nathrakh from the Throne ov Metal AbominationsTM. Abject brutality galore can be found in many of those Neanderthal Death Metal pieces, but unhinged ferocity served with style and savoir-faire, that’s a different story.

So, here Vredehammer – the hammer of wrath – surged into the spotlight with a vengeance. And it brought a gift called the God Slayer. How could we ever … [...] Click to raid more!

Nyrak - Devourer of All - Album Cover

Melancholy, oh terrible melancholy. A rich tapestry of downtrodden deathly vibes slowly wafts our way straight down from Belgium. From haunted graveyards on cursed hills hidden in the mists of time. Holy moly, the things just looking at the album art might conjure up from nothingness and decay.

So indeed, we did it again. The RMR Review Desk picked up Nyrak‘s sophomore effort Devourer of All solely by the terrible powers of the ominous graveyard on the album cover. But – did it pay off? Looks can be deceiving. There may be more than meets the ear.

Those mischievous … [...] Click to raid more!

Corpus Diavolis - Elixiria Ekstasis - Album Cover

The RMR crew covered Halphas not that long ago. Aggressive German Black Metal fare that found quite an echo over here. They offered sermons, very dark sermons to you-know-who. And they must have summoned something in the process. Because here – suddenly – Corpus Diavolis appear on our radar with yet another ritualistic piece, darkly glowing in the colors of the flesh.

An offering that’s atrociously salacious and prone for demonetization by the social media whackos. But who are we kidding? The putrid juices are spewing forth, fueled by a vile elixir. Elixiria Ekstasis, they called it. Some sort … [...] Click to raid more!

Halphas - Sermons of the Black Flame - Album Cover

A black mass, a genuine salacious ritual, is on the horizon. One with a sturdy and truly wild theme that will make this pitch-black year of 2024 ominously glow in darkened colors. Unspeakable and unholy rites that happen in forlorn corners of haunted woods and away from prying eyes.

But the wait will still be long until that time. So, in the meantime, we’ll take in some sermons to get the Dark Lord’s attention. The ones of the Black Flame. Halphas just returned from the undead to the stage and an unholy hunger fills them. Dark greetings to thee.… [...] Click to raid more!
