The new year brings loads of new tunes like the latest infectious little ditty from Los Angeles-based Rx27 who follow up last year’s excellent Goth rawker “Gasoline” with “Chasing Crazy”.

Cancel All Other Rawk Albums For 2020! ÆGES Has Delivered The Only Record You Need To Hear In The New Year With DROMMEN.
If you’ve followed the trajectory of ÆGES then you’d know that they’ve become so much more than that band that featured that guy from Pelican that one time (Their debut, The Bridge, featured Pelican skinsman Larry Herweg in their ranks). And if you haven’t followed their trajectory then you know that, to put it plainly, ÆGES just rawk!
[Read more…]New Crowbar! Dates With Down! But First! The Year Of Windstein Begins With Long-Awaited Debut Solo Album, Dream in Motion
Crowbar has a new album coming out this year! Down will be celebrating 25 years since their seminal debut was released! AND we get Kirk Windstein’s first ever solo outing to boot? How are we all so lucky? And most importantly, how is Kirk Windstein so goddamn amazing to bestow this much Sludge awesomeness upon us in 2020? Those questions and more will (most likely) be answered if you read on…or, at the very least, you’ll get a pretty decent review of Dream In Motion which is out on January 24th.
[Read more…]Singles! Otto Kinzel, “I Bleed For You”
Multi-instrumentalist Otto Kinzel (Dust Prophet, Skin Drone) has unleashed his most revealing body of work with the release of “I Bleed For You” which is available now.
[Read more…]Dead Friends Channel Some Heavy Greats On Hard Rawkin’ High, Wasted Genes
Does it take away from the message when you describe something as heavy as High, Wasted Genes from Virginia’s Dead Friends as “fun”? Because it really is. Despite the pummeling riffs and the overall intensity, the five songs contained within their latest EP is definitely one helluva good time to be had by yer ears.
[Read more…]Poppy Delivers Your First Must-Have Metal Record…Or Must-Have Pop Album Of 2020 With I Disagree
You can blame VOWWS for my newfound love of all things Poppy. As stated in our 2020 preview (Which you can conveniently read now by clicking here), I didn’t get “I Disagree” when it was released. At all. The music was all over the place and the accompanying video, while visually engaging, did nothing for me. Then I found out that VOWWS, whom I adore, was supporting Poppy on her European tour. And on her North American tour. Then I heard “BLOODMONEY”. And I was hooked.
[Read more…]Fatigue Fly The Darkwave Banner High In MA On Self-Titled EP
If you live in Massachusetts, chances are that you’ve heard the one about whenever you turn on the nightly news you’re likely to find that something bad has happened in one of our many towns/cities starting with the letter “L”. You know what I’m talkin’ about! There’s Lawrence and Lancaster and Lynn and the birthplace of today’s artist of note, Lowell!
Which is probably why, when perusing Fatigue’s Bandcamp site you’ll see them described as “Dark, depressed synth-pop from a desolate mill city.” They know what I’m talkin’ about at least.
[Read more…]What’s In A Name? Yur Mum Lay It All Out Within Rollickin’ Ellipsis
As the punchline to many a joke around the RNRF homestead, it’d be silly to think that when a band with a name like “Yur Mum” comes across our request desk they wouldn’t get the attention they so rightly and obviously deserve from us.

20 for ’20: AKA 20 Albums We Think Will Kick Off Your New Decade Right
2020 has a lot going for it already with a slew of stellar albums dropping right at the start AND a year where Ozzy will release new material is a feat in itself. Also on the horizon beyond what we’ve listed below is a new beast from Rawk Gods Aeges (Review coming soon), more maniacal mayhem from Dog Fashion Disco, Megadeth’s triumphant return, and the original members of Static X reuniting to bring the late Wayne Static’s final recordings to light as a whole new full-length due this May. Hell, even Duran Duran will supposedly be back this spring with the follow up to 2015’s Paper Gods!
But I digress.
