Anciients - Beyond The Reach of the Sun - Album Cover

The new Opeth record is still some 60 days away and Mastodon are only musing about writing a new one. But right now, we hunger for some feisty and heavy progressive soundbites heading our way. Specifically, since one Mikael Åkerfeldt1 decided to reintroduce growls in his future prog release. Luckily, the Canadians from Anciients were ready to step in for about a month now. And they got heavy written into their DNA. In spades.

Anciients is yet another band valiantly sailing right past us back in 2016. So, some eight years later we’d all but forgotten about them. It … [...] Click to raid more!

Seth - La France des Maudits - Album Cover

Seth first crossed our hawse back in 2021 with their powerful ode to a burned church called La Morsure du Christ. Seethingly powerful Black Metal that roars forth on gritty French vocals. A language that seems to soak up this almost poetically dramatic evil, as if it were predestined for such rough treatment. The devil must indeed reside somewhere in Paris and not in the Vatican, as was whispered for centuries. But I heard today that it might be the UK after all. We’ll keep on checking, of course. Satan’s prone to change locations all the time.

Unsurprisingly, a … [...] Click to raid more!

Alright, Wormed should form part of our n00b crowd at the RMR office tower. A list of established metal acts that – to this day – somehow didn’t make it on our roster yet. The band emerged from the vile depths of space in 1998 and produced all of – four full-length albums over all these years. But even with a scarce density like that, this band has exerted considerable influence on Brutal and Technical Death Metal over time.

RMR is no good with ‘established’ bands of the alleged metal mainstream. So, it’s no surprise that this band somehow sailed … [...] Click to raid more!

Severe Torture - Torn from the Jaws of Death - Album Cover

First, all of you non-metalheads or wannabes, get out. This ain’t for the faint of heart and the adepts of Metal o’ The Light. Unless you wish to be bludgeoned with Brutal Death Metal of the best Neanderthal fashion, of course. The kind that will leave your ears bleeding and your earphones in shambles. If so, take the Black Pill (the blue and red variants won’t work here) and come in. But you’ll be on your own. Nobody will come to your rescue should this fare not be to your taste. You’ve been warned.
