Evermore - In Memoriam - Album Cover

Evermore‘s 2021 debut Court of the Tyrant King appeared somewhat reluctantly on the RMR ‘zine. Only in 2022 did it dawn on us that tyranny can make for great Power Metal. So, here we were, comfortably late – and totally surprised by that steady stream of astonishing Power Metal roaring toward us from an unknown band.

2021 and 2022 yielded a crop of 8 PM reviews each, some at pretty stellar levels. Out of which Vandor, Ilium, and Fellowship stood out. 2023 has been more restrained so far. Luckily the laggards at the RMR review desk finally … [...] Click to raid more!

Red Cain like it short, intense, and wild. Already the Kindred Series, Act I & II, fascinated the hell out of the grouchy joint – ahem – chain smokers over at the review desk. To the point that some of ’em started fantasizing about meeting Juliet, which – of course – wouldn’t have ended well. A case for the RMR security squad armed with oversized tasers and tranquilizer guns.

And those records always rolled in on a reasonably short airtime of 36-39 minutes or so. All of that filled to the brim with a crazed medley of elements, … [...] Click to raid more!

Well, I guess for this one you need to leave your cheese filter at home and just let the record engulf you in its gluey embrace. This – thing is so smothered in various types of smelly goo, even the nerdiest of fantasy nerds will have trouble stomaching the new Angus McSix epos going by the ungainly title of Angus McSix and the Sword of Power.1 So, brace yourselves, a new fat slice of Gloryhammer dumbfoolery is heading your way. Merciless space lore with a Scottish flavor, filled with armed dinosaurs, fireflies of doom, and Sixcalibur, the … [...] Click to raid more!

Neverus - Burdens of the Earth - Album Cover

Neverus call their style Majestic Death Metal. There, that’s quite a statement. The cantankerous specimens over at the RMR review desk weren’t so sure what to make out of that metallic assault at first, though. Fleshgod Apocalypse’s King 2.0 or just an unholy concoction of unsavory mainstream ingredients? Time to paint that toque black, turn it inside out, and rip the recipe to shreds. Happy cooking!

Well, don’t we love those totally unknown underground bands that just hit our review pipe out of the left field? Actually, we do. They might never grow into the perfect clickbait that any webzine … [...] Click to raid more!
