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.

What I love about South American Death Metal? It’s pure, it’s obscure and it’s dark. For me, be it the Brazilian scene like Sepultura’s “Bestial Devestation”, Krisiun’s “Black Fore Domain”, Sarcofago’s “Rotting” or bands like Hadez, Mortem and Anal Vomit, those three elements are always present. After hearing Putrid Evocation from Chile, I have the same feeling again; it’s pure, it’s obscure and it’s dark. The sound on this promo has a huge rehearsal room vibe, yet everything is auditable. Musicwise they combine the South American rawness with a bit of Swedish Death Metal rhythms in the starting days of that scene and slower Autopsy. No wonder Xtreem Music signed this band! (Ricardo)
