Wardruna - Helvegen II - Video Cover

Wardruna. Einar Selvik‘s and Lindy-Fay Hella‘s Pagan and Nordic Folk haven. A somewhat pig-headed act that took off in earnest right after the man departed from Gorgoroth, felt eons ago. Alongside Heilung, Wardruna morphed into one of the most visible actors in the Pagan / Nordic Folk ecosystem.

The band and its often wail-plagued musings have orbited our zine for a while now. Over time, some of their wares piqued our interest, at least somewhat. But never enough to really jolt us into writing mode.

So, here the RMR zealots over at the Review Desk suddenly … [...] Click to raid more!

Drott - Troll - Album Cover

Drott‘s 2021 opus Orcus didn’t quite make it onto the RMR must-write list. That was unfortunate, but the rampant complexity of the piece and its weird out-of-the-box feeling turned it into a victim of the dreaded guillotine. 2021 was indeed a busy year full of excellent metal.

RockmusicRaider Review - Faun - Pagan - Album Cover

Faun now is a different animal than it was once Von den Elben hit the fan crowd. 2013 was a time of change, a refreshing reminder that Medieval Folk can be fun and games without the burden of having to recreate history. True, some of that fare was a tad light-minded, but the RMR crew here did enjoy that new refreshing wind blowing down from the German heartland. By the time Midgard released, a motley selection of style directions appeared. A somewhat uneasy mix of old-time ethereal tracks and the lighter … [...] Click to raid more!

RockmusicRaider - My Dying Bride - The Ghost of Orion - Album Cover

The RMR crew will always remember Feel The Misery of My Dying Bride to be the record that blew Paradise Lost out of the water. That was back in late 2015 when we thought we were all set. Ready to head into the making of the new top 10 list.

But nada, the miserables around Aaron Stainthorpe gave us their saddest piece yet and tore our plans asunder. But what is a little delay if it is for a good cause, right?

The last five years were not necessarily the happiest for the band. A number of lineup changes … [...] Click to raid more!
