Video: Helvegen II, by Wardruna!

Wardruna - Helvegen II - Video Cover

Wardruna. Einar Selvik‘s and Lindy-Fay Hella‘s Pagan and Nordic Folk haven. A somewhat pig-headed act that took off in earnest right after the man departed from Gorgoroth, felt eons ago. Alongside Heilung, Wardruna morphed into one of the most visible actors in the Pagan / Nordic Folk ecosystem.

The band and its often wail-plagued musings have orbited our zine for a while now. Over time, some of their wares piqued our interest, at least somewhat. But never enough to really jolt us into writing mode.

So, here the RMR zealots over at the Review Desk suddenly … [...] Click to raid more!

Red Method - Becoming The Sickness - Video Cover

Red Method have made quite a splash over at the RMR Review Desk with their new EP As in Life. Now, the raw power of their music is only one facet of their artistic being.

And still, here the RMR crew is twisting itself into a pretzel to justify a breach of rulez passed down by the almighty bossman.

Well, we’re talking about Green Carnation‘s 2026 record A Dark Poem, Part II: Sanguis. A record showered with the highest praise by the grouchy minions over at the RMR Review … [...] Click to raid more!

Video: Somewhere Far Beyond, by Zornheym!

Zornheym - Somewhere Far Beyond - Video Cover

An early iteration of the RMR crew covered a first version of Zornheym‘s video, The Opposed back in 2017. But for some reason, the old geezers at the RMR review desk missed both full-length records following the clip, Where Hatred Dwells and Darkness Reigns, and The Zornheym Sleep Experiment. Don’t ask, we have no idea why no coverage was found over here twice in a row.

But fear naught, this time things worked out. The new clip, Somewhere Far Beyond, struck a chord and strongly so. And it is yet again the elaborate storyline propped on a … [...] Click to raid more!
