If you descend into the deepest recesses of your brain, you'll find The Reticent. This time, they're rummaging about self-harm yet again. #please they called their piece, and we're still looking for answers.

The RMR crew thought them gone, down the slippery cheese slide to Power Metal oblivion. But fear naught, #DarkTribe are back stronger than King Kong. And they bring you reveries. Forgotten ones.

Can you feel the cold breath of the Grim Reaper? You should. When Nothing Remains surges forth with echoes, a lament for the eternal night. Meet the final judge.

It's one of these days. Anaal Nathrakh to the front because the screams in your head get too feisty. The perfect remedy to combat that kind of daemon. The Black Widow's roaring, thanks for asking. Next will be this Hell is Empty thing, by the way.

Ready to invoke some Vikings? Meet #Danheim and his latest concoction #Heimferd. But has this endless dancing about fires really turned into a homerun to olden times? Time to find out.

Trve Doom Metal is much on our minds today, and it ain't The Reticent. Who might it be, then?

Echoes from the past waft out of the Australian outback. Melodic and Gothic Metal on a nostalgic note. But, did #Darkyra use enough high-octane fuel to power through the jungle, alright? Careful with that life force.

#Waldgeflüster were long lost in the vast reaches of the Bavarian outback. They returned with strange tales of bones and damnation. Let #Knochengesänge be a worthy compass for you to find your way out.

Axl Rose won't like this. Meet Welcome to the Jungle, #Cemican style. Unwieldingly called U k 'u' uk'ankil Mayakaaj, their newest piece darkly whispers of ancient cultures. Careful with them ballgames.

'Si vis pacem, para bellum'! #Testament wrapped their whole new album around this age-old, tired theme. But they need to win this #metal war first. And the question is, have they? Hit the link.

Roaringly good Power Metal or just moar roaring in an ocean of metallists' stereotypes? This genre can be tricky. Elettra Storm try to prove us all wrong and #Evertale is their pointy spear. Let's have at it.

Ah, quo vadis #RMR? More woozy flow and groove suddenly appeared over here in the midst of some #metal musings. #Dawnwalker did this from in the between. Ring the bell.

Let's step off the #metal train for a bit. David Gilmour had something to say in 2024, and we ignored it. Meet Luck and Strange and its suave messages. Quiet parts said out loud.

Its #metal is olde, but The X Factor's wares are still being discussed today. A maiden classic and remarkable achievement, but did it meet #RMR's stern quality standards? Measurement sticks openly wielded.

#Thorondir just returned from their latest incursions into the Bavarian jungle. And they brought tall tales about the guardians of the forest. Stay clear of talking trees and wispy fairies.

Blood, gore, flesh 'n' terror. The revenant from the grave is haunting the streets, and it is in fine, gruesome shape. Carach Angren have struck with a thunderclap. Be very afraid.
