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!

Now, we’re a bit confused. Scarlet Records are usually known for their penchant for high-end Power Metal. But blatant Extreme Metal? That’s kinda unusual, but why the hell not? Especially when the material presented could well rival stuff peddled by bigger and more established outfits.

Already the band name Drown in Sulphur is darkly ominous, to say the least. That’s not a fate we wish to impose on our worst enemies. Right? But – in hindsight – nomen est omen, the record often exudes that odor of drowning in something unpleasant. Now, where’s that gas mask and full bodysuit? Chemical … [...] Click to raid more!

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!

Orphalis - As The Ashes Settle - Album Cover

What about – some Brutal Death Metal lost in translation with Technical Death Metal? You know, extreme ferocity that won’t change its attack vector until you either fled or were trampled by the horde. It depends, I guess. On the day and the level of rage that the Dark Lord delivers. Because fury is what you need once Orphalis‘ newest As The Ashes Settle unleashes its wares on your sorry bones.

The RMR crew had its differences with the netherworld of Death Metal’s underbelly. You get a pretty broad spectrum, from pretty atrocious and slammy to brutally refined. … [...] Click to raid more!
