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.

Usually, the RMR crew doesn’t respond to shoutouts to cover very short blurbs like that one. But here Stortregn appeared on our radar with a pretty loud bang.

So, luckily, our scouts found an obscure Extreme Metal band from the Bay Area that stubbornly stuck to the smelly underbelly of the alloy-laced underground. Meaning, despite endlessly riffing about stages and soundscapes, they didn’t quite get to that breakthrough yet. The famed metal nirvana many a band attempted to reach but few ever did.

So, let’s explore. Ominous Ruin state that they did something … [...] Click to raid more!

Croak! Ah, this is going to be a difficult one. The RMR crew already covered swampy gurgles in the past, emanating from slimy creatures dwelling in the rotting muck. Such pieces can get far with us. And besides, the RMR crew often fancies leaning into the slimy primordial soup of deathly prog.

But then, there are the highly technical bands as well. Acts run by nerds putting the term avant-garde to shame. Cases when prog guys get sick of prog1 and kick it a few miles up the proverbial ladder. And we just found one, but we’re equally unsure … [...] Click to raid more!
