The Green Goblins – The Green Goblins (2026) – Review

The Green Goblins - Self-Titled - Album Cover

The Green Goblins. I daresay, the name has been passed around, and they’ve been popping up here and there on our mighty radar. But so far, liquor-crazed, fake pagan, and often medievally-tainted fun rockers have had a hard time here on the zine. They often get off to a good start, but then they sail right over the curvature of the beer barrel, and crash violently into the rushes to disappear in that particular meaningless mush. Put differently, after a while, the relentless retelling of the same corny dad jokes, leaky clichés of all flavors, and too much repetition … [...] Click to raid more!

Gåte – Sigil (2026) – Review

Gåte - Sigil - Album Cover

The Norwegian band Gåte‘s 2021 piece Nord filled us with hope that a newish version of pagan anything finally reached our roster.

And then, there’s those who quietly build their career and reputation. Until they’re ready for a solo project themselves. But instead of going it alone (and failing), they find themselves bandmates for the music and concentrate on songsmithing.

Fabienne Erni is such an artist. I’ll forever remember when she rushed … [...] Click to raid more!

Moon Mother – Meadowlands (2026) – Review

Moon Mother - Meadowlands - Album Cover

Flying high on rage and ferocity is somewhat easy for a metalhead. And this here crew is full of ’em hungry gobblers of sharp metal shards. But as RMR’s credo flies, this zine ain’t only about Bastards from Asgard, the evil musings of the daemonic squad, or brutal evicerations in Death Metal country. Far from it.

A somewhat underdeveloped but important part of our musical triarchy @ RMR is rock and its many facets. And quite often, those records, so different from our usual fare in mood and texture, must meet the right moment for an in-depth investigation. That glimpse … [...] Click to raid more!
