When Darkher hit our turntables back in 2016, the RMR deckhands – at first – thought that this would be some trve competition to Extreme Metal acts like Myrkur. But Realms turned out to be more Loreena McKennit than it would ever hit Amalie Bruun’s backyard.

And whilst that may be so, her depiction of frugal dark and subdued doom continued to fascinate us. Her minimalistic streak, those carefully crafted blurbs of tasty doom stuck with us like some ice-cold and wet power glue to our skin.

Now, Jayn Maiven (formerly Wissenberg) made us wait for new material for … [...] Click to raid more!

RockmusicRaider Review - XCIII - Void - Album Cover

As always, the time must be right to write reviews. The writing process of such a recension is as much an artistic process as it is for a music album. Well, maybe not quite that elaborate, but you get my drift.

So, at the beginning of the terrible year of the Dark Lord 2022, XCIII‘s1) newest offering Void just did not talk to us. Impossible to wrap our minds around something so avant-garde, it just wouldn’t fit the RMR crew’s Extreme Metal damaged brains of mid-January.

But things have lightened up since. RMR just covered some psych and … [...] Click to raid more!

The RMR crew always has its feelers out for new or newish styles and – indeed – genres. You see, rock ‘n’ roll has been around for a while. And metal – well – starts to disintegrate into an overused and abused jumble of grades of metal that seem to go nowhere. Or at least, it ain’t really going where nobody went before. In other words, nobody was able to come up with something really new, and that’s been the case for many a decade.

So, we’re kinda excited to see those Post Metal somethings trickle in. They boast clean … [...] Click to raid more!

The RMR crew over here fancies those records with that ‘Out of the Box’ label. Pieces that are difficult to categorize and even more difficult to review. Looks like we prefer a complicated life over here. But just serving the mainstream hasn’t exactly been a match in heaven for this crew. At least for the folks over at the RMR office tower.

But you have to be careful. Once the gilded gates to Weirdijistan are open, there’s usually no holding back. And some of these records will just suck you in with no guarantee that your good-looking ass will be … [...] Click to raid more!
