Croak! Ah, this is going to be a difficult one. The RMR crew already covered swampy gurgles in the past, emanating from slimy creatures dwelling in the rotting muck. Such pieces can get far with us. And besides, the RMR crew often fancies leaning into the slimy primordial soup of deathly prog.

But then, there are the highly technical bands as well. Acts run by nerds putting the term avant-garde to shame. Cases when prog guys get sick of prog1 and kick it a few miles up the proverbial ladder. And we just found one, but we’re equally unsure … [...] Click to raid more!

‘To Whom The Bell Tolls! ‘A term often (mis)used in music and literature alike.1 Metal, specifically, latched on to this foreboding and ominous sound of doom as if it were Satan’s Tit. And earnestly, who can resist the Roar ov Wrath emanating from those frayed belltowers? Black Sabbath and AC/DC are most fondly remembered for prominently ‘ringing the bell’ anywhere on the globe some eons ago.

But, the Black Metal community took the plague bell theme to the next level. The harbinger of doom and damnation, sounding like the echos of the Daemon’s mighty footsteps solemnly waltzing into … [...] Click to raid more!
