The RockmusicRaider offices just love those jewels all of a sudden ejected from the nameless masses of music creations. Like some sort of magic volcano gone to the other side. And specifically tasty are those bands that consciously and purposefully defy styles and currents. By this definition, they threaten to become their very own genre – a victim of their own success if you will. We had them before on RockmusicRaider with bands like Dirty Sound Magnet and their self-declared modus operandi aptly named Creative Rock. 

Into this category fall the eccentric geeks of the Canadian band Vvon Dogma I… [...] Click to raid more!

RockmusicRaider Newsflash - Moanaa - Passage - Album Cover

Tired of having your ears assaulted by harsh metal sounds? Wanna switch to something quieter, but not necessarily weaker? Something pretty complex, not the usual thumping you get? If the answer is yes, then you need to go to Poland. And try out Moanaa and their new full-length record Passage.

Their strangely progressive and blackened Post Metal style showcases nicely throughout the record, moving from relatively soft beginnings through steady progression towards a pretty cool closure at the end of the record.

And they pull out all the stops. It’s indeed a predominately progressive style they sport. Yet you’ll get your fair share of … [...] Click to raid more!

RockmusicRaider Review - Riti Occculti - Tetragrammaton - Album Cover

The Occvltists are on the loose again. Earlier in 2016, RockmusicRaider already covered ritual metal, Black Metal style to be precise – with Darkend. But Riti Occulti dance to a different tune. Exceedingly different.

The Italian band saddles you with a pretty sticky ceremonial brand of Blackened Doom Metal in Tetragrammaton. Stuff that sounds genuine and authentic. But hey, if you don’t believe me, check out the video below.

As the title suggests, Riti Occulti dive deep into Kabbalistic lore. The record does follow a pretty sturdy theme and logical flow, backed by corny lyrics that are pure … [...] Click to raid more!

RockmusicRaider Review - Antyra - Pentachronist - Album Cover

This is going to be a first: RMR promoting a record containing a whopping five intros1, plus a master overture at the very beginning. Some of that stuff dwells outrageously far out in fairyland and is in part so bad you just want to slam the door shut in their face.

But you won’t, believe me. Because this whole magic brew somehow sticks to you like goo from the abyss and won’t let you go until you have surrendered your soul to it.

Antyra and their debut studio full-length album Pentachronist will do that to you. Chaotic, scratchy, dissonant, blackened – … [...] Click to raid more!
