The RMR crew first encountered Isolert‘s firebrand style of Black Metal in 2016. No Hope, No Light…Only Death their debut album called itself, and – while still somewhat unwieldy – it stuck with us. Some real Black Metal, from Greece to boot. A strange place for Extreme Metal, by the way. At first, the country appears peaceful, but then you find unsavory little nuggets. Vile metal bands, some of which appeared on this zine. Rotting Christ for instance, Kvadrat,1 or Septic Flesh come to mind to name just a few.

For some reason, the band’s 2020 piece

Mist of Misery - Severance - Album Cover

By Loki and his millions of unholy minions. We’ve been down in the hellish pit and back a few times too many lately. So, our darkened souls yearn for some melodic mana to come along and soothe the pain inflicted by too much scorching metal in the 10th circle of hell.

So, along came a band we actually covered once before. Mist of Misery usurped our attention with that crisp yet melancholic EP Fields of Isolation some way back. A doomy mix that came with a few sudden outbursts of Black Metal, laden with atmospherics and a fair dose of … [...] Click to raid more!

It looks like the City of Calvin in Switzerland is a haven for Extreme Metal. I am sure that this would rub Mr. C the wrong way. But – alas – he’s gone for some time. And now there’s all that metal debauchery rampant in the streets of this lake-bound city with nobody to quell the surge.

Debauchery? Hell, no. If anything, you’ll find some serious guitar prowess around those dark corners. And Singularity will deliver its fair share, make no mistake. Stortregn really pulls that pedal to the metal right from the beginning. But more to that later.

And truly, … [...] Click to raid more!

RockmusicRaider Review - Stortregn - Emptiness Fills The Void - Album Cover

Stortregn‘s 2016 record Singularity starts with this friggin’ solo. First one guitar, then the second chiming in. Very unusual for the genre they so avidly depict. But this … thing juicily draws you in, a magic metal pull. And down you go through the rabbit hole, where overheated amps shred a growling sound made for the true metalhead. Such stellar beginnings and the ensuing performance will be very difficult to beat on the next record. 

So, with some trepidation, the RockmusicRaider crew stood in waiting for this new offering from the metal hotheads of Stortregn. Will Emptiness Fills … [...] Click to raid more!
