From the bombastic, gorgeous opening cut 'Mystery and Misery' to its funereal closing track, 'Long Knives Drawn' is comprised of nine incendiary performances that hardly pause for breath. While so many of their contemporaries have turned in limpid, mid-tempo third or fourth efforts as they find themselves playing to a broader audience, Rainer Maria have taken the opposite tack, delivering a fearless and ferocious rock album.

RM single features two unbelievably beautiful songs. Amazing vocal work and dynamic guitar/drums. Stripped down on the instrumentation side of things, yet suddenly changing and coming together, only to fall apart again.

The debut full-length by RAINER MARIA, the beautifully powerful Madison, WI trio shows off the dueling male/female vocals and the well-crafted instrumentation that RM has been built on. Memorable guitar dissonance?

Rainer Maria's Ears Ring is a three-song EP, recorded in the same sessions as their upcoming fourth album. You'd imagine a voice this big couldn't fit inside a person or on a record. You'd think drumming this combustible would be illegal to ship across state lines. You'd assume guitar playing this elastic would snap, and the loose end of it might put your eye out. This is rock music at its most dangerous at a time when it could once again be effective. Simply put, a burst of glory and fury like findi   [ read more ]
