Slaughter The Giant - Abomination - Album Cover

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!

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!

Maere - ...And The Universe Keeps Silent - Album Cover

The RMR crew likes itself a good piece of dissonance from time to time. And this April 2024, there are two of them on the menu. Kvadrat – in a subdued kind of way – and the German band Maere with their debut …And The Universe Keeps Silent.

Disconcerting and unsettling nuances lead down this thorny road usually reserved for trve metalheads who like to wallow in darkness and misery. In other words, the adepts of the light will simply faint once you hit play. There’s no happy note where this particular left-hand path’s acolytes are heading.
