The RMR crew just covered Lacuna Coil‘s 2025 Sleepless Empire piece. And the merciless judges over at the RMR Review Desk found the band’s newest chunk of alloy quite to their taste. Now, if you remember, the last two records, Delirium and Black Anima, found effusive praise from all corners of LC‘s fan universe. And these two pieces were indeed quite impressive.

In contrast, the aforementioned Sleepless Empire got a somewhat mixed reception from critics and fans alike. And that made us reach into the past to understand the present better. So, let’s get a closer look … [...] Click to raid more!

RockmusicRaider Review - My Silent Wake - Damnatio Memoriae - Album Cover

Doom Metal is one of the most fascinating genres in the metal multiverse. Ranging from clear voice and female-fronted outfits, like Draconian, over the Peaceville Three to the slow marches of Funeral Doom.

And this is the emotional scale My Silent Wake project in their album Damnatio Memoriae. Doom Death Metal to be consumed with a pinch of desolation and powered by general anger, even fury. And they deliver it well.
