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!

Tranzat - Ouh La La - Album Cover

At RMR we believe in the trve power of cover art. It can generate bouts of clairvoyance or feisty comments, whichever comes first. Or both, with any further careless and dangerously politically incorrect appendices you might want to add for good sport.1 It can also be the sole reason to purchase an album, believe it or not. Jump into that misty sonic void with reckless abandon? Quite so.

Tranzat here did this to us. Or more precisely, the cover for their strangely named new record Ouh La La is the actual culprit. So, whilst we looked in shock at … [...] Click to raid more!

The RMR crew always has its feelers out for new or newish styles and – indeed – genres. You see, rock ‘n’ roll has been around for a while. And metal – well – starts to disintegrate into an overused and abused jumble of grades of metal that seem to go nowhere. Or at least, it ain’t really going where nobody went before. In other words, nobody was able to come up with something really new, and that’s been the case for many a decade.

So, we’re kinda excited to see those Post Metal somethings trickle in. They boast clean … [...] Click to raid more!

RockmusicRaider - Sectlinefor - Kissing Strangers During An Outbreak - Album Cover

This week’s mission was to find the review request with the nerdiest album available in our review pipe. A band so much outside of our already unusually large boundaries that they actually should be banned instead of let in. Folks that should earn the RMR Cringe Award, but not get a free and full review with all of those (questionable) honors.

And the RMR deck crew is (un)happy to announce that we found the culprit. The unsuspecting winner of the current weirdo prize is – Sectlinefor and their new record Kissing Strangers During An Outbreak.
