Alien Metal Music Listener - Playlists

Did you know?

RMR sports playlists! Since its meager beginnings, the crew generated roughly 1’100 reviews spread over around 700 bands covering a riot of different genres and sub-genres. That’s a pretty impressive number, given the lack of manpower and an abundance of life events getting in the way all the time. After all, we only have 24 hours in the day, plus the night if need be. An operation fraught with unpaid labor and a day job to finance all that pain and misery.

This means that RMR sits atop a vast heap of predominantly heavy music waiting to … [...] Click to raid more!

A short while ago, we already had to digest the demise of Lee Kerslake after a long illness, and now this. Truly, 2020 will not stay in our memory as a good year.

Hensley left a mighty footprint during his time with the Heep people. It would be a moot point to list all of the works from 1970 to 19801, there … [...] Click to raid more!

RockmusicRaider - Most Popular Posts

Howdy fans and friends!

A long while ago, the RMR deck crew issued that first attempt at glory. A list of most popular posts. Those that stuck with the audience, appreciation expressed through the sheer force of a great many clicks.

Since our last measurement, things changed dramatically and RockmusicRaider progressed further down that road to blog nirvana. In other words, from being totally on the outskirts of the metal music blogosphere, we find ourselves today at least somewhat more center stage. So, compared to our first attempt, there’s a tad more oomph behind our stats this time.
