De Profundis’ 2022 piece The Corruption of Virtue first took us by surprise and then by storm. An astute piece of Death Metal of all couleur that fascinated us with its merciless musical prowess. But since then, nada. Not a peep from Londontown. So, we filed them away for being one of those RMR one-time events in metal.

But it appears that they were busy behind the scenes. Because – lo and behold – their newest EP, The Gospel of Rot. landed with a mighty bang in the midst of our sleepy brethren of the RMR Review Desk.

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.

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.

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!

Paganizer - Flesh Requiem - Album Cover

We already heard from Rogga Johansson this year. Thorium‘s the name of the band and the man assisted with guitars and riffs, so I understand. A bastardly thingy that finally found our good graces somewhere down the road.

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!
