Let me tell you what made us pick this record up in the first place. Black Rock Heart, the first track on Savage Lands‘ debut album Army of the Trees, wildly reminded us of Slap Betty‘s piece of work that aired some years ago. A record containing a lot of progression, some limited emotion, but little substance otherwise.1 Apart from loads of red-hot, well-chiseled Heavy Rock, that is. A feature that rarely garnishes this zine’s review pipe.

Howdy fans and friends!

A long while ago, the RMR deck crew issued that first attempt at glory. A list of most popular posts. Those that stuck with the audience, appreciation expressed through the sheer force of a great many clicks.

Since our last measurement, things changed dramatically and RockmusicRaider progressed further down that road to blog nirvana. In other words, from being totally on the outskirts of the metal music blogosphere, we find ourselves today at least somewhat more center stage. So, compared to our first attempt, there’s a tad more oomph behind our stats this time.
