We weren’t on time to catch the last spaceship leaving for the galaxy. Our review for Tiit, Sun of the Suns‘ latest exploration drive, roared out of our gates a few months later than it should have. And more’s the pity, because this was excellent and brutal fantasy fare for a debut album.

Now, this time, this ain’t happening. Launch pads are ready yet again, and the wow-signals from the Oort Cloud or something are firing up the juices of them space crews. A lot is going on in the sparsely populated vacuum, and we’re wondering if Entanglement… [...] Click to raid more!

I never knew diving into metal at large would make one appreciate classical music more than you’d ever imagined. Haunting themes straight from the opera stage, ferociously shredded to fit the metal narrative. Unspeakable creations that you didn’t expect until you met their terrible fury.

Oh boy. Sometimes I’m glad that a band cheated, only delivered some 35 minutes of airtime, AND had the gall to call that a full-length album. This happens when the levels of metal intensity levels shoot straight through the roof. And we had attacks like that of bands with a serious speed problem in the past.

It’s for felt ages that the RMR crew tried to find more reasonably grinding Death Metal with an itch for outrageous tech and brutality. Instigate here pushed themselves to the forefront. But can they beat established Tech Death bands that made an appearance on … [...] Click to raid more!

It’s time to work on the leftovers from the Year of the Lord 2021. Those that were slated for review initially but for some reason never got enough attention. One of them is the – until recently – pretty much unknown band Sun of the Suns and their debut album TIIT.

And who ever said that we won’t be covering those joint Deathcore pieces anymore? The ones that gurgle themselves through a tasty Death Metal repertoire when they’re not busy ripping everyone a new butthole with their ‘core activities.

TIIT kinda lurked around our backstage area for the better … [...] Click to raid more!
