Arroganz – Death Doom Punks (2026) – Review

Arroganz - Death Doom Punks - Album Cover

Didn’t we already encounter some bastardly punkfaces earlier this year? We indeed did. Wolfbastard hail from the windy island in the North Sea, though, whereas here we got ourselves brutal German fare. Straight Teutonic power. Relentless and brutal.

What piqued our attention, though, was the weirdly similar album names. The former called their concoction Satanic Scum Punks, whereas Arroganz here had theirs down as Death Doom Punks. Let’s just hope that this is a naming oversight of the arrogant ones and no botched creativity attempt. But whatever the truth, that’s a godawful load of fucking punkery. Thus, let … [...] Click to raid more!

Thorgrim – Puca (2026) – Review

Thorgrim - Puca - Album Cover

I frankly never thought I’d write a 0/10 review. And those are, come to think of it, described as ‘dead on arrival’ in our ranking guide. Such a – thing would need to be more than abysmally bad and really point to a band on their way out of their very own predicament.

At The Gates - The Ghost of a Future Dead - Album Cover

Ah, the RMR n00b carousel is turning again in 2026. Who would have thought that? This time with At The Gates, destroying metal objects since 1990 with some significant absences in between. Yet another band with a proven track record furthering the metal cause. But one that – for some reason – did not make it onto our roster until now.

Now, this here record, ominously called The Ghost of A Future Dead, is going to be a weird one to review. RMR will be commenting on a record interpreted by a dead man. At The Gates lost … [...] Click to raid more!

Wolfbastard – Satanic Scum Punks (2026) – Review

Wolfbastard - Satanic Scum Punks - Album Cover

Oyez, oyez, oyez, ye people of the lowlands! Wolfbastard are up to their gruesome ways again. And their fury is blazing hot, enough to chase Lucifer away. The last time over, they mercilessly hammered robed priests to a pulp. This time, they take an unholy liking to broken bottles in dark street corners. It’s a blood-soaked business, this punkish Black Metal thing.

But never forget, the beast is lurking right behind you, so be careful with those tools, will ya? It seems that this Manchester place leads people into evil deeds, so the whole setup kinda fits the mold. That … [...] Click to raid more!
