Sanguine Glacialis - Maladaptive Daydreaming - Album Cover

We like them pig-headed and unhinged over here. Proud from the underground, unknown bands that reach us seemingly from nowhere. Complete with some delicious chaos that we will find difficult to describe and rate correctly.

Sanguine Glacialis have been around the block a few times, obviously. After all, the band started brandishing its wares since 2010 or so. They’re thus not necessarily unknown to the initiated. But they indeed sailed straight past the RMR sentinels with their somewhat confused 2018 piece Hadopelagic.

Yet, their newest piece Maladaptive Daydreaming shook the sleepy old geezers over at the RMR review desk … [...] Click to raid more!

Mammuthus Imperator Album Cover

Mammuthus. That’s one helluva band name. It speaks of big-boned animals, heavy in tusks and voracious appetites. A menace and food source to early humans that desperately roamed their ice-infested hunting grounds during the last cold spell. Until some unknown event brought about their extinction a few thousand years ago, that is. The when or why nobody quite knows and opinions sharply diverge.

But let’s take this lumbering beast one step further. Mammuthus Imperator, the second word being the name of the record, is the full name of the piece. And whilst this ain’t the current description of … [...] Click to raid more!

Skade - Gudinnen - Album Cover

The RMR crew won’t touch re-releases with a flagpole. Usually. You know, records that somehow got launched into the ether earlier by some band and now get a revamp by a label. And as often happens, said labels carry a much more powerful marketing punch than standalone artists. But – exceptions rule the world. And Skade‘s Gudinnen1 is one of them.

The record indeed crossed our hawse in 2022. But for some reason, it got some tough love dished out by the masters of grump over at the RMR review desk. Reasons? Unknown, the silence of the lambs … [...] Click to raid more!

As Light Dies - The Laniakea Architecture, Volume II - Album Cover

The RMR crew had their share of intricate metal pieces to review that strained to make sense. So, one day this early 2023, some RMR hands peacefully rummaged about the moldy lost corners of our review pipe. Just to discover that the Spaniards of As Light Dies brutally struck again.

And I freely admit it here for the record, The Laniakea Architecture, Volume II must be one of the most challenging records this crew ever attacked. This is no album for the faint of heart – and it probably belongs into the realm of Trve Metalheads ov the Weird. Oblivion … [...] Click to raid more!
