Flashback: LDDSM take a Breath!

Los Disidentes Del Sucio Motel - Breath - Album Cover

Here’s to one small blurb I wanted to cover for a while. Back in 2021, Los Disidentes del Sucio Motel got some mileage out of RMR for their Polaris record. Not the easiest of fares and somewhat difficult to get into. But it was worth it and sufficiently out of the box to keep our interest levels up and sharp.

But since that particular record hit our review pipe, nothing much happened. So, very late in 2023 and in full listing season, LDDSM launched Breath at the public. At the worst possible moment, I might add. Unsurprisingly, the EP lost … [...] Click to raid more!

Tranzat - Ouh La La - Album Cover

And then, we need more rock, believe it or not. Lately, the focus has been way too much on the brethren of the metallic underbelly of that mighty rocky beast.

RockmusicRaider - Exanimis - Marionnettiste - Album Cover

Well, I always thought the kings and queens of totally epic Symphonic Death Metal resided in Italy. From the beautiful city of Perugia, Fleshgod Apocalypse reigned supreme in that realm of the baroque world of Borgia-like undertones and crazy cinematic shenanigans. A style so full of garish colors and bizarre soundscapes that it actually should drown in a ton of cheese, yet it never did.

So far, at least.

And indeed, their reign remained pretty much unchecked. Until the RMR deck crew got a visitation from the French band Exanimis with their debut album Marionnettiste, that is. A bunch … [...] Click to raid more!
