Raider - Trial by Chaos - Album Cover

One would think that anything with ‘Raider‘ in its band name should get onto this webzine. Something like – immediately because the RMR crew over here usually has a soft spot for namesakes in metal band multiverse. 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.

Alright! If you’re looking for measured slightly oldish Death Metal à la Rogga Johansson, Raider ain’t … [...] Click to raid more!

Ne Obliviscaris - Exul - Album Cover

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.

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!

As Light Dies - The Laniakea Architecture, Volume II - Album Cover

The RMR crew had their share of intricate metal pieces to review that strained to make sense. So, one day this early 2023, some RMR hands peacefully rummaged about the moldy lost corners of our review pipe. Just to discover that the Spaniards of As Light Dies brutally struck again.

And I freely admit it here for the record, The Laniakea Architecture, Volume II must be one of the most challenging records this crew ever attacked. This is no album for the faint of heart – and it probably belongs into the realm of Trve Metalheads ov the Weird. Oblivion … [...] Click to raid more!

Crown of Madness - Elemental Binding - Album Cover

Do have a care, will ya? Binding elementals will work through strong magick only. And if it goes wrong, you’re so much scorched toast – or turned into a toad to croak upon the world until it or you finally disappear, whatever comes first. So, powerful metal will be needed to cast spells that will hold the forces of evil at bay.

And in come Crown of Madness with their snazzy brand of Technical Death Metal that continually reminded me of sins that Abiotic and the sick-to-god Archspire already committed some time ago. Exactly the kind of red-hot metal the … [...] Click to raid more!
