Well, we’re back to liminal spaces, a fleeting glimpse of transitory moments of unhinged unease. Passthroughs in a world that seems to have lost all sense of order. 2026 and the year prior have been comparatively full of records talking about it. At least on the RMR zine, they were.1

On Veilburner‘s latest piece, the RMR crew didn’t find anything liminal. On the contrary, this specifically messy record got blacklisted by the RMR Review Desk for a long time. Until somebody here finally picked it up earlier this year. Not that the review improved anything, apart from … [...] Click to raid more!

Veilburner - Longing For Triumph, Reeking Of Tragedy - Album Cover

By the mighty Gawds of Metal. The 2025 Veilburner piece unwieldily called Longing for Triumph, Reeking of Tragedy has been blinking its life force away in the depths of our review pipe. And nobody picked it up yet. And that ain’t a stellar idea with their 2026 release, All That Glimmers is Gloam, coming up fast.

The album’s untimely arrival, with a release date in November 2025, didn’t really help. With the listing season breathing down our necks and two iterations of Magnadur‘s1 unhinged bullshit under our belt, our patience was really wearing thin. And this new … [...] Click to raid more!

In trying times like these, what better idea than to sit your ass down with some truly vile metal? It will (hopefully) burn the mental fat off your grey matter real fast and help get rid of this aggression fest aimlessly careening about your skull.

And today I have a special suggestion that will brutally expel vegetarians and vegans, too. Not that they cannot partake in this endeavor, far from it. But they’re not gonna like the smells and texture of this particular meal.

Viande1, the band, brings you the putrid fare you need. Terrible fetid musings in … [...] Click to raid more!

Decipher - (ΘΕΛΗΜΑ) Thelema - Album Cover

The RMR crew and the Greek Black Metal community are pretty sturdy acquaintances. Rotting Christ1, Dødsferd, Isolert, or – again – Dark Portrait, all appeared on this zine. In fact, you get a fair number of the ritual folks roaming about the Southern reaches of Europe. This, and the sturdy French section, got ourselves a pretty virulent base to judge newcomers against.

So, will the sophomore record of a still obscure Greek Black Metal band be able to invoke the lightbringer, or will boredom set in after a while? Grab that spell book. That should … [...] Click to raid more!
