The Fifth Alliance - Stenahoria - Album Cover

Ah, it has been some time since a tried and trve out-of-the-box piece graced our meager abode. The RMR crew already encountered German rebels, seemingly lost in some obscure ideology. Or, unsung confusing acts that seemed to veer off the deep end in the Northern cold wastelands, but finally succeeded astonishingly well. But some misunderstood that disjointed disjointedness doesn’t mean just mindless chaos. And they spectacularly failed. Not once, but twice. I guess some will never learn, and those have now been banned from coverage on RMR.

Meaning, the RMR crew kinda likes these revolutionaries. Adepts of … [...] Click to raid more!

Witch Piss - The Devil Doesn't Burn - Album Cover

Ah, the Satanik Panik is back amongst us yet again. Allegedly. At least judging by the flame-ridden album cover and the entry monologue on the first track. All of that comes from a band geniusly called Witch Piss, no less. A work of ‘art’ that’s so typically late ’70s, I want to go find a time machine and correct this ever-returning theme.

And then, their album moniker bluntly states that The Devil Doesn’t Burn. Doesn’t it, now? Mankind has yet to find out, methinks. But I digress. Let’s see if this message of fire, brimstone, and social depravity … [...] Click to raid more!

Oh yeah, baby. Time to stop wobbling about strange soundscapes and back to burning off some mental fat. And that’s best done with unapologetic furious metal, stuff the usual classical music connoisseur would not touch with a ten-foot flagpole. Noisome metallic items that the RMR crew cannot really resist.

So, descend into This Gift is a Curse‘s unhealthy and wickedly heathen realm. An unwelcome apparition of a beast so vile it might make you decamp in a hellbent hurry. Meet the Heir, bow your head in submission, and be afraid. Very afraid.

Here is to one of these … [...] Click to raid more!

Allfather - A Violent Truth - Album Cover

Hells bells! We got ourselves another one of those bands thinking that a mere 27-minute airplay would melt the ice-cold metal hearts over at the RMR review desk.1 Usually, we’ll allow some leeway to punk records or some truly outstanding performance reaching us in short format. Yet, Allfather‘s A Violent Truth won’t hit any of those lofty standards, gruff fury and apparent eviscerations notwithstanding. And that means that this EP-ish piece here ain’t no candidate for an in-depth full review. Anger issues brutally untreated. ‘Soit’, as we say in French.

To be fair, though, the unforgiving rage … [...] Click to raid more!
