Well, hells bells, the RMR crew thought they were retired for good. Or at least retired enough to not throw yet another one of their records onto the Review Desk. Well, it looks like we were dead wrong in our misguided assumption that this was the case here. So, now we got that big pile of metal shards right in front of us. Well, look at the bright side, there will be monsters and daemons to vanquish. That’s at least something, right?

That said, the RMR crew had a lot of fun with 2023’s Dark Parade. But we truly … [...] Click to raid more!

Ah, some devil’s music is, yet again, on the menu. You know, traditional Heavy Metal fare that the old folks around the late ’70s honestly thought rolled in straight through the gates of hell. There wasn’t much metal around these days, so this must have sounded like Gehenna reincarnated for some. Most of it was Hard Rock with some early metal injected for good measure. Case in point, Tygers of Pan Tang just graced our review pipe. And they started their songsmithing in ’78, together with Saxon and a few more. Trespass really hit the scene around ’79 or so. … [...] Click to raid more!

You know what made us pick up this record? It is this statement made by the metaller-in-chief over at Tygers of Pan Tang. And it says: “This is a brand new Heavy Metal album from us, steeped in the late 70s, flavoured from the 80s, and ready for consumption right now!” Sold, the RMR crew cannot withstand that kind of swagger. Electrifyed just landed in our review pipe, no questions asked. Welcome to the sump!

And how could we resist? The good ol’ tygers of the realm were all around us for many a decade. More precisely, they have … [...] Click to raid more!

Last time it was Atlantis with Poseidon and his mighty trident in a rare lather. Quite the Power Metal piece set in some ancient fairy land, and with benefits. But now, the universe has undergone a sea change or something. Because – suddenly – KingCrown boasts of Moonfall. A catastrophe in the making with our trusty companion on a direct collision course? Looks like it.

So, no starships and galactic battles. Instead, we get some rapture of sorts, Power Metal style. Well, why not. It’s seething hot right now, so we might as well add some moon mushrooms to … [...] Click to raid more!
