If the pinky-hued sugary cookie monster ain’t your thing, go here. All others, follow the fearless RMR crew into the realm of the Metal o’ The Light. Power Metal is on the menu again and the Brits from Fellowship are the culprits this time around.

As you may remember, the band’s 2022 record The Saberlight Chronicles left quite an impact crater over here. Their brand of sugary sweet Power Metal almost gave us a toothache. But it was also one of the best-executed such records on the roster for the year. So, Fellowship here are up against a stellar … [...] Click to raid more!

The RMR crew found some solace in Power Metal over the last two years or so. A heretical thought, right? Not so anymore. The genre used to be the bane of the trve metalhead. Not something that one would easily touch upon without falling out with the tougher metal crowd. But the winds of change to better quality have been hard at work.

The RMR crew lately found records that actually improved over former concoctions in our swampy review pipe. And we detected pieces from Vandor, Ilium, or – again – Rage in My Eyes1 that got … [...] Click to raid more!
