Red Method have made quite a splash over at the RMR Review Desk with their new EP As in Life. Now, the raw power of their music is only one facet of their artistic being. And when you’re done being slapped around by them Brits, you should also tune into their moving pictures some. It is quite the experience, we can attest.

Enter Becoming the Sickness. This is probably one of the feistiest and most ominous tracks on this shorty of an album. It might also be the one with most of the EP essence contained within. It … [...] Click to raid more!

And don’t even dare calling it that, thank you very much.

So, low and behold, Lower Hollow usurped our attention earlier with their new short blurb … [...] Click to raid more!

RockmusicRaider - Evanescence - Album Collection

Polarization. That’s what comes to mind when the RMR crew starts discussing Evanescence and their career. Some think that Amy Lee can do nothing wrong and everything she and her mates created so far is just dandy. Others, however, feel that the band sorely got on the wrong side of pop over the years. A (not so) happy conversation of groovy chatterboxes but no resolution on the corporate stance the mighty RMR office suite should take. Sounds like those modern and totally wretched politics, doesn’t it?1

So, what’s it gonna be?

Early Evanescence, and then some.

Since its inception, … [...] Click to raid more!
