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

Once again a fairly new band which was formed to play some Old School Thrash. This time not the the Teutonic version of Thrash, but more the US kind so there is a bit more crossover in it. White sneakers & leather jackets all over the place. Although influenced by acts like Toxic Holocaust and Municipal Waste, Pandemic Outbreak rather rides the 3rd gear with an occasional shift to the 4th one, instead of having a brick on the gas pedal and playing on “are you mental?” speed. It doesn’t have to be a speedfest all the time (take a listen to some old Testament), but then you have create some kick ass songs. I think Pandemic Outbreak didn’t manage to create that. Also not a fan of the vocals, which sounds a bit to forced. After hearing the EP a couple of times, I can only conclude it doesn’t grab me. (Ricardo)
