Nile - The Underworld Awaits Us All - Album Cover

A short while ago, RMR tackled a feisty mix of mainly dissonance and tech death, served on a platform of overwrought occultism. A peculiar set of styles that somehow worked nonetheless. Oddly so, but it did. So, why not continue with yet another tech death act that waited for attention over here for a few months now? Nile‘s the name, and The Underworld Awaits Us All is the game. But man, did the overindulging fanbois and girls swoon over this record that comes with a cover art sporting a wave or vortex of something that must not be … [...] Click to raid more!

One thing is certain. Depravity, Slaughter the Giant‘s 2022 piece, made waves over here. Huge tidal waves. And astonishingly so, because the band’s abrasive style certainly ain’t everybody’s cup of witches’ brew.

Now, right on time for the Top 10 season, StG launch a new red-hot ballistic missile called Abomination. Judging by the cover art, it must be some monkey business in Hell’s Cathedral. Priests hung upside down and daemon’s running rampant. Or something. Let’s grab some Holy Water, if that works at all. We’re not quite sure anymore. Be afraid, be very afraid!

Abomination is a … [...] Click to raid more!

Alright, Wormed should form part of our n00b crowd at the RMR office tower. A list of established metal acts that – to this day – somehow didn’t make it on our roster yet. The band emerged from the vile depths of space in 1998 and produced all of – four full-length albums over all these years. But even with a scarce density like that, this band has exerted considerable influence on Brutal and Technical Death Metal over time.

RMR is no good with ‘established’ bands of the alleged metal mainstream. So, it’s no surprise that this band somehow sailed … [...] Click to raid more!

Opeth - Still Life - Album Cover

For some time, the RMR crew wanted to expand on Opeth. The Swedish prog band of some (a lot of) notoriety captured our attention last with their 2019 piece In Cauda Venenum. A record that didn’t have us all enamored almost five years ago. The poisoned tail was indeed one of those love/hate pieces that will have the hardcore fanboi wallow in the highest praise. Whereas more critical spirits might beg to differ somewhat.

So, not that long ago, RMR covered The Moor‘s latest full-length record, an Italian (wannabe) prog band gone Modern Metal. Some feedback about … [...] Click to raid more!
