Cyprus is on the menu again and extreme metallers Blynd are on the prowl and back from hibernation. It took them a while to return from the undead since their 2015 piece Liber Sum aired. Their last record already packed a mighty punch. Now, let’s see what they were up to for the last 9 years or so. Judging by the daemonic artwork, this is gonna be harsh and straight down into the blackened pit.

Blynd‘s lineup – surprisingly – survived the almost decade-long waiting loop. Only Andreas Hadjipandeli newly joined the band in 2022 on guitars. And that … [...] Click to raid more!

Marauder - Metal Constructions VII - Album Cover

When the RMR webzine was still young back in 2016, Marauder hit our review pipe. And it’s funny, isn’t it? Seven years ago, at the beginning of our endeavor, Bullethead felt like that Heavy Metal piece we ever lusted after over all these years. Little did we know that much more of such excellent material would be heading our way over the years. So, since their last piece got undue attention, Heavy Metal got forever reaffirmed in a genre that we thought was pretty much dead.

So, into this lusty fray, Arrayan Path decided to add yet another of their records. The RMR review committee actually vowed to abandon the quest to wring some sense out of this band’s musings. You know, those Power Metal folks from Cyprus that will drive Kiske to tears with their cheese-dripping fare.

Now, the 2020 piece The Marble Gates to Apeiron didn’t quite impress us1… [...] Click to raid more!

RockmusicRaider - Arrayan Path - The Marble Gates to Apeiron - Music Reviews

Surprise reigned supreme at the RMR office suite when we discovered all those pretty sturdy bands that roam the limited reaches of the island of Cyprus. Lots of Power Metal, Thrash, and some genuine Punk Rock already crossed our hawse over the years. And that’s pretty wild. All that makes me wanna go visit there and mingle with the metal crowd a bit. But – alas – I can’t these days.

Arrayan Path1 suffered our scrutiny for some time now. The band, led by the Leptos brothers, that churns out these spiffy refrains just fascinates us. And still … [...] Click to raid more!
