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.

Memento Mori released the following statement:

In our endless quest to push and support current underground acts that perpetuate the odor of vintage Death Metal, we’re extremely thrilled to announce a new signing: Eternal Rot, from U.K./Poland.

Eternal Rot crawled out of a musty dungeon in London in 2012, born out of a passion for Death Metal by Mayer and Grindak. Their “2013 promo tape” demo (released as “Grave Grooves” on 7″ EP through Fallen Temple Productions a year after), featured two swampy and deadly tracks that attracted vigilant zombies who began to spread the word about a new sonic disease. A few years of disgusting excavations later, they joined forces with Godz Ov War Productions and spewed out the debut album, “Cadaverine”, which was adorned with the artwork of Mark Riddick, who would ultimately become the band’s artist of choice from then on. Shortly after, the duo were joined by Radek Pierściński (Meat Spreader, Neuropathia, The Dead Goats) on drums and the result was the band’s second album, “Putridarium”, which featured an improved formula of their already trademark purulent and über-crushing Death Metal. The band’s latest chapter of filth up to date was the 2021 split with Death/Doom Metal powerhouse Coffins, on Behind the Mountain Records.

What we’re dealing with here is organ-crushing, mind-blowing and sickening Death Metal that’s stripped to the very bone and insanely catchy, showcasing gnarly and slightly distorted vocals, downtuned guitars, a gut-wrenching rhythm section and a horror-drenched atmosphere that’s utterly recommended to fans of Autopsy, Undergang, Hooded Menace, Rippikoulu, Anatomia, Disma, Coffins, Grave, Incantation, Funebrarum…

Memento Mori (CD) and Godz Ov War Productions (LP, tape and digital) will team up to unleash the band’s 3rd full-length on July 24th, 2023.
