Greece’s Mystfall must have sailed straight past our outpost a few years ago. Their debut album, Celestial Vision, just didn’t register. But then, 2023 was a busy year, and the RMR crew is thus excused.

But now it’s time for some Symphonic and Power Metal fun of times long past. Yep, that genre again, one that’s hopelessly overcrowded with a felt 99% of wannabes and 1% of real stars of this very special slice of the metal multiverse.

I mean, we all still remember when this movement really took off in the early ’00s with the likes of Epica… [...] Click to raid more!

Evermore – Mournbraid (2026) – Review

The Tyrant King got us a sturdy sample of what the three weirdos of Evermore were capable of. Not at Top 10 levels (yet), true, but they left a mark on our chalkboard after all. In Memoriam artfully circumvented that black reef lurking just beyond sophomore’s reach by doing some improved more of the same. That was back in 2023. Since then, not a peep from the feisty Swedish trio hit our mighty detection radars over at the RMR Review Desk.

But now, they’re back with some scarlet mourning piece full of ravens and wild metal screams. Mournbraid really takes … [...] Click to raid more!

Power Metal hasn’t been on the menu yet for this early 2026. So, it’s high time to get another one out into the open that recently struck our fancy. 2025 had a good run with them. The offerings of DarkTribe, Helloween, or – again – Moonlight Haze seriously destroyed some of our loudspeakers over here. But – all of those were comparatively ‘serious’ pieces run by bands taking good care not to slather unwanted fat ‘n’ sugar everywhere.

So, the RMR crew went a-searching for that new over-the-top exuberant record, magnanimously plastering cheese wherever they shouldn’t. Aeon Gods… [...] Click to raid more!

Should we let you in on a dark secret? DarkTribe‘s last record, Voici L’Homme, never quite synced with us. Apart from the pretty snazzy title track, the piece was a true struggle to review. Meaning, well-elaborated but always kinda bland in nature, the record was always one small step away from generating a rant. Which, in all honesty, it did not deserve.

Fast forward to 2025, and Forgotten Reveries just made it onto our review pipe. First listens revealed the typical DarkTribe sound yet again. Soaring Power Metal roaring in on the mother of all smooth productions with … [...] Click to raid more!
