RMR Top 10 Records 2023 - Cover

2023 started slowly. And at first, the RMR crew wasn’t quite sure where it would all lead to – or end. And by the word ‘end’, I mean the end of RMR. A lot of soul-searching went into this year’s continuation of a steady flow of reviews. Same as other music sites out there, we had our severe doubts if running a review ‘zine wasn’t just a fucking waste of internet space or not. Brutally put, nobody gives a damn about review sites anymore – apart from those looking for free marketing. So, if you’re reading this, then the leftover … [...] Click to raid more!

The RMR crew was forever mesmerized by Folkesange, Myrkur‘s 2020 piece.

Myrkur, the outfit that messed up the comfortable, tremolo-laden life of many a Black Metal addict over the last years. A band led by a female better known in the pop multiverse. And without any metallic credentials to her credit.

Amalie Bruun truly followed her very own instinct to the fiery metal pit. Her metal persona features a mix between ethereal folksy parts and disturbing metal screams on a bed of tremolo. Just go ahead and twirl M, you’ll understand what I mean. Then there’s the follow up with the somewhat unhinged Mareridt. A piece that defined … [...] Click to raid more!
