Blackened, disjointed, and unsettingly smelly items already graced our review pipe in the past, no doubt. Need an example? It was only last year, to be precise. Magnadur was the act’s name, and they hit rock bottom with us not once, but twice in 2025. An anal avalanche of Synthwave-imbued pseudo metal shards to crush yer opponents. Or something. You really need to let that one sink in for a while. Utter self-destruction, because of – well – an inability to harness one’s own psychedelic ideas and turn them into something coherent.

And that’s all the more frustrating because the … [...] Click to raid more!

Let’s think out of the box for a moment, shall we? I was bitching at someone lately who thought that the trve spirit of Black Metal has gone missing.

The one Corte Di Lunas famously rocked about. The Ponte della Maddalena in Borgo a Mozzano, Tuscany, is another famous one. But let’s turn to the one just outside Turin. Located in Lanzo Torinese, a few clicks away from the city, this is the one that might have inspired the band’s name. A mystery of a construction, apparently built by the devil himself for the price of one soul.1… [...] Click to raid more!

It is still early in 2026. And, as always, the records we somehow missed late in 2025 are bubbling to the surface. I daresay, though, that the end of last year was very chaotic over at the RMR offices. So the next installment of Blasts from the Past may well be richly endowed with material not seen here to date.

The long and arduous pagan history of the lands in present-day Italy forever fascinated the RMR crew. It is an old land, full of often famous epochs. A rich blend of past cultures that are still remembered to this day. … [...] Click to raid more!
