Hehe! Gotta love these guys. Their stated calling as acolytes of Epic Pastoral Doom Metal already elicited some evil chuckles over at the RMR Review Desk. No note has rang out yet, and already Fvneral Fvkk‘s (imagined) genre exudes that musty musky1 odor of pasty, slightly sweaty men in robes from another world, chanting weirdly in vast, empty buildings surrounded by scented smoke. Dire cases of modern sorcery duly established. Right?

Now, the main motif of the band’s very existence is the bane of the Catholic Church. The proven records of sexual abuse and other aberrations of the … [...] Click to raid more!

So, we are at Ze Number Ten. The sleepless ones have been at that Melodeath thing for almost 30 years and produced a critically acclaimed record every 3 years on average. And the fire still burns bright. The RMR crew covered all records from somewhere around 2009 to this day. 2016’s Winter’s Gate was without a doubt the strongest piece this band produced under our watch. That’s not to say that Heart of a Grave and Anno 1696 weren’t great records in their own right.

And that begs the question: has the act around Niilo Sevänen kept the high-octane levels … [...] Click to raid more!

2026 has turned into a Year Ov Doom over at the RMR Review Desk. And I wonder why that is? It ain’t the RMR crew in depression mode, though. So, is it just that the melancholy pieces passing through here are simply legion? Nobody really knows. But the crew also found quite a few albums studded with woe-infested diamonds strewn over the long, hot summer months of tribulation and despair. So, it may well be that the overall quality of melancholy vinyls has improved ever since we last checked.

And it’s funny how each year can turn out differently when … [...] Click to raid more!

The RMR crew received a message from a guy in Romania. Erwin Weber wrote about his project Pâenil Era. At first, confusion reigned. Romania, the band’s funky moniker, and the artist’s name just didn’t sync. Half of the crew here speak German. So, judging by the sound of the artist’s name, this should have been a Teutonic act, in our minds at least. Well, no, of course not. Pâenil Era are hailing from the vast Romanian lands alright, and reached us through Weber‘s very own vanity label Neuronoir.

And now that this crew’s neuronal missteps have been cleared … [...] Click to raid more!
