Something called Mountains of Madness has gotta be good, right? We won’t know for certain until the review concludes, of course. But records boasting mini-Cthulhus on their album art with stories from cold plains must appear on our zine. H.P. Lovecraft is one of our favorite sources for horror stories after all.

And sure enough, Puteraeon here delve deep into the lore of primordial terrors that we cannot comprehend. And they do this with a real sturdy and pretty merciless brand of Swedish Death Metal unchanged by the eons spent on the cold wastes of Kadath. Let the Mountains of … [...] Click to raid more!

Rogga Johannson anybody? The RMR crew feared for a moment that the geek-in-chief of Swedeath is on the prowl again. But not so. Instead, we’re faced with an archaic and primordial version of Death Metal brutality. With some – Cthulhu-esque thing from the deep watching you from the cover with evil, hungry, and alien eyes.

And yes, we’re talking about Maceration. An age-old band torturing our eardrums since 1990. A band offering fake Swedish fare because they actually hail from – Denmark? Correct, geographically speaking, but not so fast. Thus, let’s take a step back. After 1995, the band … [...] Click to raid more!

And as no year can pass by without multiple Rogga attacks, here he returns with his flagship act Paganizer. And we’re again in the meat packers’ district. Albeit, questions remain about what meat should be on the menu. The piece’s title – Flesh Requiem – made us throw a few pinches of salt over our shoulders. Remember, already Beyond the … [...] Click to raid more!

Rogga Johansson is probably one of the most prolific creators of heavy music out there. There’s a seemingly endless stream of Death Metal projects he’s calling his own or is involved in. And sometimes this makes me want to contact this guy to help poor old RMR figure out how one manages all that complexity without going insane.

And we have a confession to make. The RMR crew ignored former Paganizer records. Because of, you know, too much Rogga. And that can lead to total sensory overload and metallic depression. But here, the mighty review committee decided to give … [...] Click to raid more!
