Veilburner – All that Glimmers is Gloam (2026) – Review

Veilburner - All That Glimmers is Gloam - Album Cover

Well, we’re back to liminal spaces, a fleeting glimpse of transitory moments of unhinged unease. Passthroughs in a world that seems to have lost all sense of order. 2026 and the year prior have been comparatively full of records talking about it. At least on the RMR zine, they were.1

On Veilburner‘s latest piece, the RMR crew didn’t find anything liminal. On the contrary, this specifically messy record got blacklisted by the RMR Review Desk for a long time. Until somebody here finally picked it up earlier this year. Not that the review improved anything, apart from … [...] Click to raid more!

Veilburner – Longing for Triumph, Reeking of Tragedy (2025) – Review

Veilburner - Longing For Triumph, Reeking Of Tragedy - Album Cover

By the mighty Gawds of Metal. The 2025 Veilburner piece unwieldily called Longing for Triumph, Reeking of Tragedy has been blinking its life force away in the depths of our review pipe. And nobody picked it up yet. And that ain’t a stellar idea with their 2026 release, All That Glimmers is Gloam, coming up fast.

The album’s untimely arrival, with a release date in November 2025, didn’t really help. With the listing season breathing down our necks and two iterations of Magnadur‘s1 unhinged bullshit under our belt, our patience was really wearing thin. And this new … [...] Click to raid more!

Element of Fate – Dreamfall (2026) – Review

Element of Fate - Dreamfall - Album Cover

Element of Fate‘s official website seems to be Instagram of all things. Yep, this social media channel. A spawn of the terrible Meta-verse that seems to be the only one garnished with the band’s moniker. This doesn’t or should not reflect negatively on the musical prowess of the band, of course, but it gives you an inkling of how well-versed an act actually is in digital marketing. And – it may well give you a pretty good idea of what to expect going forward, as often both go hand in hand.

The band resides – willingly or not – … [...] Click to raid more!

Non Serviam – La Lune Dont Mon Âme Est Pleine (2026) – Review

Non Serviam - La Lune Dont Mon Âme Est Pleine - Album Cover

Non Serviam. An anarchistically driven chaos troupe masquerading as a metal band. Their last record, Le Coeur Bat,1 was so atrociously underwater that it didn’t even make it to publication over here. And perhaps we should have let it air on the RMR zine. This would mean that two zero-rated records would dwell in our statistics today. Not the greatest idea, by the way. It is not desirable to collect those if you run a webzine like ours. But I digress.

Back to Non Serviam, the French band. It always amuses me when riotous and probably … [...] Click to raid more!
