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.

Good, down-home Death Metal can be a cathartic experience. Specifically, the technical variant is one of those that will burn that mental fat right off your pitch-black soul.

And that’s all great but – at the same time – kind of scary for a first-ever record of a band. Because this posed an immediate challenge to Eternal Storm. An invite from hell to – at least – produce an equal record for their sophomore run. The infamous second piece that often shipwrecks on overwrought … [...] Click to raid more!

Drown in Sulphur - Dark Secrets of the Soul - Album Cover

Now, we’re a bit confused. Scarlet Records are usually known for their penchant for high-end Power Metal. But blatant Extreme Metal? That’s kinda unusual, but why the hell not? Especially when the material presented could well rival stuff peddled by bigger and more established outfits.

Already the band name Drown in Sulphur is darkly ominous, to say the least. That’s not a fate we wish to impose on our worst enemies. Right? But – in hindsight – nomen est omen, the record often exudes that odor of drowning in something unpleasant. Now, where’s that gas mask and full bodysuit? Chemical … [...] Click to raid more!
