Rioghan - Different Kinds of Losses - Album Cover

These funky instances are few and far between. Sometimes one just spots them. New artists sporting insane talent, way out there beyond the beaten track. And their work just hooks you straight away. It’s a bit like the devil and your dark soul. As a reviewer, you won’t get away from it until you wrote yer piece. Or there won’t be peace – of mind or otherwise.

Rioghan is one of those artists. Already her 2021 EP Blackened Sky landed in our review pipe like a dropkick on a wet surface. And that one didn’t try to dazzle us with … [...] Click to raid more!

Hierophant Violent didn’t quite work out for us. Don’t ask me why, Forlesen‘s debut album just didn’t click, despite the magnificent album art. It might have been a case of sensory overload, who knows? It does happen, though, when too much metal1 (real or wannabe) suddenly blows yer senses to smithereens. And that’s a pity because this band’s debut got rave reviews – and somehow the RMR crew just phased out.

So, here we got our second chance to get a review out to the fawning fanbase. At first sight – Black Terrain sounds like one of the … [...] Click to raid more!
