A new review section: Buried by Time And Dust

We added a new review section, coincidentally another Mayhem reference following 'The Past is Alive', with the title 'Buried by Time and Dust'. Over the years, a lot of promos have been gathering dust simply because a fresh wave of promos arrived the following month and they were consigned to oblivion. We will review them here to make a clear distinction with our other reviews. We will also use it to complete a discography in terms of reviews. Feel free to contact us if you would like to submit your music or would like to join the staff.

Info

Italian Death/Doom metal band Dead Chasm bring forth their latest material that promises to be their most potent output yet. There’s not a second wasted on these three songs which are dense with stomach-churning riffs and doom passages that are all but enveloping, while the execution remains tighter than ever before. They make everything work like clockwork as a three-piece unit and there’s not a single area where they leave something to be desired. The songs are more elaborately structured than usual in this Death/Doom style and it’s particularly noteworthy how they take the time to flesh out the riffs and go about it all in a natural way rather than forcing it or coming across as ostentatious at any given point of time. Be it during the slower sections building up the thick, ominous atmosphere or the faster, pummelling parts, it’s all done in a sincere manner and that too with the right organic sound that retains some of the rawness. Dead Chasm have come up with a bunch of songs that are virtually faultless but more importantly are of the kind that would resonate with any true fan of Death/Doom metal.
