Cirkus Prütz – Manifesto (2025) – Review

Cirkus Prütz - Manifesto - Album Cover

‘Come back with more anytime, Cirkus Prütz, the door’s wide open’, screamed the RMR crew at the end of the Blues Revolution review. And we meant it. Because Manifesto‘s predecessor was a revelation. A journey back to times long gone. That thirsty feeling of a band playing in a saloon on a dusty highway while the tumbleweeds are rolling by.

And here the Prütz boyz are back in action with another bunch of gritty musings full of grinding rock ‘n’ roll. But – will they be able to recreate the vibe this here crew found so alluring? … [...] Click to raid more!

Newsflash: Lauren Babic has Too Much and Never Enough!

Lauren Babic - Too Much and Never Enough - Album Cover

Those who have followed the RMR zine for a while, probably discovered that we like the unexpected and the weird. Genre-benders that go out on a limb to stand out and shine. But only if the stuff they strut is well done and has some valor attached.

And let’s face it. We have a weakness for well-written weirdness in an out-of-the-box setting. But submitting this kind of material can be a double-edged sword, of course. Because bad quality stuff filled with absurdities will be treated differently.

Yet, the RMR crew had no such qualms for eie. The band boasts a turbulent chatterbox item called – hold on to something – My Tongue [...] Click to raid more!

Marko Hietala – Roses From The Deep (2025) – Review

Marko Hietala - Roses From the Deep - Album Cover

Marko Hietala, one of the only artists out there holding the RMR crew’s unwavering respect. He – of course – will remain forever famous as one of Nightwish‘s main pillars. Until he chose to retire from the band back in early 2021, that is, done with a statement that made for somewhat grim reading.

Now, in the meantime, Hietala popped up here and there in a variety of venues and roles. Raskasta Joulua’s 2022 x-mas piece was – surprisingly – the first time he reappeared on our radar already. And this told us that he definitely would stay … [...] Click to raid more!
