Some records sometimes take a little longer to sink into the RMR crew’s consciousness. And often the time must be right for them to get a review. Tomorrow’s Rain‘s Ovdan1 sailed about the sumpy depths of our review pipe for a while in search of an exit. But – the Review Desk’s been busy busting the nuts of Extreme Metal folks of the smelly underbelly of the metal multiverse. So, we now seem to be in sensory overload and ready for a welcome bit of moody blues, some thoughtful woeful soul, and melancholy galore. Ovdan is here and … [...] Click to raid more!

Black Absinthe - On Earth or In Hell - Album Cover

Ah, yes, we’re back in Punk Rock’s dirty backyard. And this, just after the RMR review desk finally finished with that infamous Bokassa riot. A record rich in velocity and missing pieces.

So, here, the Montreal / Toronto punk rock scene got back onto our radar. And that’s a good thing, the RMR crew usually gets a kick out of its rowdy feistiness. Black Absinthe, the ambassadors of this formerly forbidden fairy drink that comes in at 85% alcohol,1 are again on the prowl. Since their short blurb Early Signs of Denial, the band didn’t produce much … [...] Click to raid more!

Well, what kind of strange fish have we caught ourselves today? A record the old geezers over at the review desk downloaded because – the artwork intrigued them. And we were greeted with the story of Jasmine. Or something. An unknown outfit called Kronowski with a start date of 2020, boasting typical SoCal feel-good rock fare, complete with an overly sweetish sugary coating and a chipmunk voice spewing dark-ish lyrics at ye. And that, even if the artist hails from Georgia which is – incidentally – on the other side of the US.

And that’s where the inconsistencies already … [...] Click to raid more!

Alright. I am joining Bokassa‘s club-friendly universe from nowhere-land. RMR, the revenant who has no idea what horse this band rode in on. Because – for some reason – our review pipe failed us and All Out of Dreams eloped to somewhere else. Until today, that is. So, same as the motley selection of RMR n00bs in 2023, this here band will be looked at without regard to what it was up to in the past.

Of course, an outfit having the gall to name itself after an infamous (mad) African dictator with links to cannibalism1 and their … [...] Click to raid more!
