Ah, RMR’s on the lamestream trip again. 2023 contains an impressive number of old ‘n’ rusty metal bands that are total n00bs on this here webzine. A selection of misfits outfits filled with old geezers forming part of – what is often called today – metal royalty. Bands that proudly stood at the source of it all, when all those genres started to mushroom into existence. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing, by the way. The RMR will thus yet again set out into treacherous waters and bless another old band with a review of the present without regard … [...] Click to raid more!

What about – some Brutal Death Metal lost in translation with Technical Death Metal?

Yet, the folks at the review desk were pussyfooting about the record for long months without rhyme or reason. Too much aggression in one record or just abject laziness? I guess, we’ll never know. They’re a tight bunch over there. Chaotic trials straight ahead.

Do not forget. That’s what the Latin name Ne Obliviscaris means. So, here we are, checking on a band that should have been on our radar already, judging by the wiseguy cracks out there. But what can I say, their 2017 piece Urn and all the others before them roared past our outlook at the top of the masthead unseen. So, they were indeed ‘forgotten’ by our review folks.

The RMR crew is always up to some new progressive fun. Enslaved just landed on our shores for the first time ever to surprisingly good results. Albeit, they’re not only prog … [...] Click to raid more!
