You got three types of records. Those that sail right into our review pipe and get published on time and on budget. Then, there is the reverse of the coin. Those wannabes that won’t convince nobody at the RMR Review desk and just find that dreaded chute into the terrible oubliette.

Now, the third iteration is those records that get delayed. They come back knocking on all sorts of doors, get some attention, then return to the sump to patiently wait for their turn. And whilst some of those will finally find that terrible trapdoor, others will see the sickly … [...] Click to raid more!

The Tyrant King got us a sturdy sample of what the three weirdos of Evermore were capable of. Not at Top 10 levels (yet), true, but they left a mark on our chalkboard after all. In Memoriam artfully circumvented that black reef lurking just beyond sophomore’s reach by doing some improved more of the same. That was back in 2023.

A trend that continued over the years and to this day.

Oh gawd, the RMR crew had Greyhawk down as some funky element in Heavy Metal’s wonderworld with a mean operatic streak. And what do we find? Vocalist Rev Taylor apparently left the band in 2024, the release year of their record Thunderheart. To further his, well, operatic career, they said. There you go, suspicions confirmed. The RMR crew heard some rumblings from backstage that Greyhawk‘s crew had undergone some changes. So, that’s finally put to bed conveniently.

Warriors of Greyhawk, Greyhawk succinctly called their newest Greyhawk-y hawkishness. Now, if the choice of that title doesn’t sound … [...] Click to raid more!
