Dying Fetus - Make Them Beg For Death - Album Cover

Well, the saga continues. Here’s yet another candidate to reach the lofty peaks of our lamestream n00b list. Insanely popular metal bands that exist (more or less) since the Dawn of The Metal Beast. But for some reason, they didn’t quite make it onto our swampy review pipe, despite their notoriety and undeniable success. The reasons range from no need for mainstream bands to too dumb to tango.

So, yet again, we’ll be exploring how this here metal survivor would fare with a contemporary look at today’s offering without any regard to their past actions. In other words, the very … [...] Click to raid more!

The RMR crew was forever mesmerized by Folkesange, Myrkur‘s 2020 piece. Full-throttle and somewhat unhinged folk, tongue-in-cheek, with that hidden evil streak that renders Ms. Bruun‘s records so alluring.

RockmusicRaider - Myrkur - Leaves of Yggdrasil - Video Cover

Okay, I admit it. Throughout the clip I waited for the trademark Black Metal screams that Myrkur is famous for. Amalie Bruun surprised me so many times since her first Black Metal piece we covered, I just don’t trust the soft sweet music that’s wafting from my boomboxes anymore.

Yet here, Leaves of Yggdrasil is true folk of the pagan kind. An extract of the upcoming album Folkesange that should air later in March 2020.

Why – by Loki – they chose this bizarre triangle theme that feels like the return to The Darkside of the Moon (Pink Floyd, … [...] Click to raid more!
