Ready for a secret from the RMR office? Choices of what or what not to review are sometimes driven by mood. Specifically, by bad mood. And this time, the RMR crew still finds itself on a never-ending cold turkey trip. Abrupt removal from the beach and its delights does that to us, and it turns us into grumpy and cantankerous bitches.

So, what better idea than to waltz down some psycho-punk horror lane straight into the smelly puddles lining the metal underground? ‘Xactly, none whatsoever. A place where sanity flies out the door and is replaced by the dredges of … [...] Click to raid more!

Hells bells! We got ourselves another one of those bands thinking that a mere 27-minute airplay would melt the ice-cold metal hearts over at the RMR review desk.1 Usually, we’ll allow some leeway to punk records or some truly outstanding performance reaching us in short format.

You know, back to a fiery brand of rock that comes in short blurbs of hellish brutality. With lyrics that are yelled straight in your faces like one of those addle-brained drill instructors over in the US. And all of that wild clamor and brouhaha will make you call the Anger Management Hotline for assistance. But fear naught, this time it’s not true punk like this one or this one.

But first, a caveat. Whiskey Ritual‘s album … [...] Click to raid more!

I am angry today. Very angry. A black rage roars through my innards with voices screaming for bloody revenge. But of course, we all know that nothing good will come out of anything physical. So, RMR himself dove deep into the review pipeline to find a slab of the darkest and most brutal metal that is spoiling for a fight in the acid dregs of the lowest layers of our stockpile of rusty steel. Because – believe it or not – harsh metal can be therapeutic and calm things down. The good Dr. Bastard on a roll, dressed in once-white … [...] Click to raid more!
