Oceans of Slumber – Where Gods Fear To Speak (2024) – Review

Oceans of Slumber - Where Gods Fear to Speak - Album Cover

If you’re stuck in the deepest recesses of the vile metal underground, a review of the likes of Oceans of Slumber won’t work too well. Sometimes the RMR crew has trouble emerging from the sumpy vile grip of metal’s underbelly into the lighter areas of the metal multiverse. After all, once the daemons swirling around down there have their fiery claws in your unblemished flesh, it’s difficult to dislodge yourself from their dark siren song. Thus, the band’s newest epos Where Gods Fear to Speak had to wait until we were detached enough again to take on a progressively challenged

Witnesses – Joy (2024) – Review

Witnesses - Joy - Album Cover

The RMR crew just survived the latest attack from the masters of the weird. A record so out of the box that the Review Desk struggled with its overwrought alternative and strangely proggy airs. But such free-wheeling records (almost) always get the better of us. They are – want it or not – an essential part of the fabric holding our freaky and often strangely vulnerable metal music together. And that makes us always return to that particular well of spooky offerings and lost souls.

And this time, the ornamental album cover first captured our attention. A rich and … [...] Click to raid more!

Newsflash: Besra are looking for Equilibrium!

Besra - Equilibrium - Album Cover

Suicide Records, huh? Once I started to get the feel of Besra‘s newest blurb Equilibrium, the choice of the label began to make perfect sense. This is dangerous melancholy writ large on a canvas of pvre desperation. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves.

The RMR crew somehow missed the band’s 2023 piece Transitions. But as fall sets in with the usual weirdo weather patterns, decaying leaves, and overall melancholy, this new EP quickly attached itself to the folks over at the Review Desk. ‘Ô solitude! Ô Misery!’ That kind of thing, right?

Well, Equilibrium just roared onto … [...] Click to raid more!

Dawnwalker – The Unknowing (2024) – Review

Dawnwalker - The Unknowing - Album Cover

Dawnwalker record progression: Ages, 2020, 58 minutes, Black/Death/Prog/Post, all still somewhat metallic. House of Sand, 2022, 43 minutes, Post Metal, Progressive Rock, loads of ambient musings, and some psych. And lastly, this year’s The Unknowing, 38 minutes, mostly alternative and psych/prog rock, a wee bit of hidden ambients, and a few Post Metal moments. Interesting, isn’t it?

Dawnwalker is a free-wheeling act, to say the least. One that seems caught in the good ol’ 2-year Loop ov Creators’ Purgatory of ever-recurring new releases. And they have been at that particular game since 2016. However, the Law of … [...] Click to raid more!
