Progressive titans Opeth are releasing the critically acclaimed “The Last Will And Testament” November 22nd. People lost their minds when long time (not original) band member Mikael Akerfeldt brought back growling to an album since 2008’s “Watershed”. I’m probably the wrong person to be subjective about Opeth as […]
Buffalo prog rockers Turning Virtue dropped a genre bending unique album “He Held The Sun Captive”. It’s the most unique album they’ve put out. They used to be a band in the 90’s and there’s been a few versions. Turning Virtue dropped “A Temporary Human Experience” in 2016 […]
Instrumental prog metal band Divinex is releasing their beautfiul bundle of stress (I know they’ve been working at this album for years now!) “Dreamscapes” on June 16th. They have gone through some lineup changes bringing back longtime guitariast James Millerd after being out of the band for a […]
The one cool thing about my job is getting to check out music before it drops and the friendships that come of it. I’ve known Will for years through The Beast Of Nod and recently started a project in 2019 called Mimesis that is totally different than his […]
The mighty Meshuggah is releasing their first album in years “Immutable” this Friday April 1st. I think a good amount of metalheads know their history “Obzen” will always be my favorite release along with “Chaosphere” and “The Violent Sleep Of Reason” (their last release all the way back […]

From the frosty tundra of the TMR bunker in Buffalo, NY another instrumental band has arisen from two members of Tortoise Forest! The Kalahari Merman Experience features Max Davis and Dan Gagliardi creating an even crazier sound. Also attached with this review is an interview for your reading […]
I interviewed musical mastermind Alex Weber of Exist /Wait/Svengahli/bassist luthier/man of many trades and bands. I’ve been too involved in work this year and this month is gonna be slow, so I’ll be able to put in more work on the site starting with this interview. I knew he was […]
Yuval Ron has a new album out titled “Somewhere In This Universe, Somebody Hits A Drum”. It’s definitely different…..and we do different here at TMR. It’s an instrumental record (for the most part) based on well, you can tell……space. It’s a cinematic experience like you’re listening to a movie […]
Omnibeing released their album “Polytheria” within the last week which is the hard work of Vitaly Shemetovets. It’s an instrumental progressive metal project that’s a bit different from what’s expected stereotypically in the genre. Vitaly isn’t a true shredder, he has a ton and i mean a TON of […]
