The RMR crew got to know Deathless Legacy when their 2018 piece Rituals of Black Magic hit our turntables. A record not without its (pretty severe) shortcomings. But they had that perfectly balanced song – Dominus Inferi – on the tracklist. And that is what finally made the cut over at the office tower. Saturnalia, the EP, improved matters some, whereas Mater Larvarum left mixed feelings behind yet again.

So, the band’s latest Damnatio Aeterna has been rummaging about the deepest recesses of our review pipe for a few months now. They got picked up and then dumped again, … [...] Click to raid more!

Carach Angren are, to this reviewer, similar to the folks over at Anaal Nathrakh. Both boast fundamentally different styles, of course. But they will burn any mental fat off your inner workings quickly, once you find yourself immersed in their sometimes (very) sick and hopefully, fantasy world.

So, after a long wait, CA finally decided to meet their fanbase again. And that’s a good thing. The outlooks on top of our office tower1 already started to initiate search and rescue plans. Unnecessarily so, because … [...] Click to raid more!

Long time no hear, sez I. After their take on Frankenstein (or Franckensteina) left the gate, Carach Angren kinda disappeared from sight. A few deep knocks here and there, but nothing to write home to the Dark Lord about.

So, here they suddenly appeared on our radar with a thunderclap of a clip called Ik Kom Uit Het Graf. Meaning, ‘I come from the grave’, courtesy of infamous translators available on the wide interweb. And I never knew that Dutch could sound so menacing.

The track itself is a raspy malevolent rant taken from the band’s upcoming EP The … [...] Click to raid more!

Steva Deathless with her powerful and smoky pipes always make us return to that particular well called Deathless Legacy. The band’s an absolute beast on stage with pretty elaborate productions. But this quality of the band – unfortunately – doesn’t always translate correctly once sound only plays. A fact that we painfully discovered on their 2018 piece Rituals of Black Magic, apart from the last track on this record that turned out to be top-notch indeed.

Yet again, Saturnalia finally added some much-needed spice to their portfolio a bit later. And – in truth – this encouraged the … [...] Click to raid more!
