Alright. I am joining Bokassa‘s club-friendly universe from nowhere-land. RMR, the revenant who has no idea what horse this band rode in on. Because – for some reason – our review pipe failed us and All Out of Dreams eloped to somewhere else. Until today, that is. So, same as the motley selection of RMR n00bs in 2023, this here band will be looked at without regard to what it was up to in the past.

Of course, an outfit having the gall to name itself after an infamous (mad) African dictator with links to cannibalism1 and their … [...] Click to raid more!

20 Watt Tombstone - The Chosen Few - Album Cover

Until some unknown event brought about their extinction a few thousand years ago, that is. The when or why nobody quite knows and opinions sharply diverge.

But let’s take this lumbering beast one step further. Mammuthus Imperator, the second word being the name of the record, is the full name of the piece. And whilst this ain’t the current description of … [...] Click to raid more!

Aawks - Heavy on the Cosmic - Album Cover

Do you remember the ’70s when the hairy youngsters of the day just smoked or ingested anything in sight until it fumed out of their ears?1 Weed, mushrooms, mescaline, LSD, and plain dope were the fashionable substances back then. Ah, the things people did to themselves for free love2 and cosmic wisdom. Extended reach of the brain was all the rage. So you could get a taste of some elusive alien knowledge or something. Only that this brutal treatment fried a lot of said brains back into the stone age. Not that things improved a lot ever since, … [...] Click to raid more!
