22 from ’22: The albums that Rawked Rock And Roll Fables in 2022

20 December 2022 By jesse 1 Comment

Maybe in 2030 we’ll stop doing these lists featuring a number corresponding to the given year and make it a little easier for us but for now we’re still finding it hard to whittle down the artists and albums that kicked ass for us so if it ain’t broke then don’t fix it, y’know? And 2022 delivered yet again!

Corlyx Extend Spooky Season Forever With New Wave Post-Punk Epic Blood In The Disco

21 November 2022 By jesse Leave a Comment

Like many out there, music was a real comfort during the first year of the pandemic. There were many an album that brought just some pure joy to the RNRF offices but, being forever a Goth/Industrial kid at heart, none delivered more than Corlyx and their beauty called Together Apart which shared the top spot of our “20 for ’20” with 2 other records because, again, music did a lot for us in 2020. So saying that expectations are high for the next offering from the duo of Brandon Ashley and Caitlin Stokes is kind of a vast understatement.

22 in ’22: Rock And Roll Fables’ Guide To What To Get An Earful Of In The New Year

11 January 2022 By jesse Leave a Comment

I don’t why I thought it’d be a good idea to do both an end of the year list and preview list reflecting the year they’re happening in….but here we are. Our list of twenty one albums and change has already posted (Which you can read here) so now it’s time to close the book on 2021 and look to the future with 22 albums we think will make this year sound even better than the last…and change.

21 For ’21 Because Why Not?!? (RNRF Best Of 2021)

30 December 2021 By jesse 1 Comment

I always do like 50 different drafts for just the opening alone then end up with one stripped down thing like this at the end of it all because I just wanna get this ish out there to the masses. 2021 has been up’s and down’s in the world but a pretty solid year overall for music. So much so that I almost considered not ranking my massive list of 21 releases that did it for me in 2021. Almost. As always, thanks for liking and following and most importantly, thanks for reading!

Singles! Combichrist, “Compliance”

17 September 2021 By jesse Leave a Comment

I tend to avoid reviews of any sort upon a release date passing because who needs my opinion when you can make one yourself with the materials literally in the palm of your hand in most cases. However, in some cases like with this post, a track or body of music just yearns to be augmented a little more amongst the vast amount of music being perpetually amplified into your earholes. Like the latest from Combichrist which, I think, is one of the best pieces of modern Electro that the Aggrotech titans have been associated with in probably a decade or so.

Blutengel Readies The Spark Destined To Set Dance Floors Ablaze With Electro Gothic Banger Erlösung – The Victory Of Light

13 July 2021 By jesse 1 Comment

There’s few records these days that, due to the strength of a lead single or two, compel me to anxiously await when a promo will hopefully filter into ye olde digital desk. The latest from Blutengel is one such record and the singles in question, “The Victory Of Light” and “Wie Sand”, have been on constant repeat since their initial release in late April and mid-May. The album in question, Erlösung – The Victory Of Light, is practically a love letter to the Goth scene and the match ready to light a fire under our collective asses once we can safely dance like no one’s watching in our most favorite darkened clubs.

EGGVN Take Dark Electro To Exciting New Places On Seething La Era de la Bestia

7 May 2021 By jesse Leave a Comment

I put EGGVN in the same realm of Strvngers not only because they both sport a random “V” in place of a vowel in their name but also due the tone and intent of their sonic messages. They’re both modern Darkwave darlings in these offices but today we’re taking a deeper look into EGGVN and their latest which embraces the almighty heaviness alongside the synthetic backdrop.
