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

Guitar-wise this must be the album of the year (at least from everything that’s been released so far – and we’ve already past the middle of the year mark)! But even if the guitar sound alone is enough to make you pay immediate attention, the whole band’s performance is what makes the work of this Minneapolis crew magnificent. And, not less important, the album is to be enjoyed like that: as an album! The entire song structure and running order brings an inexplicable sense of order among the whole chaos generated on each of the songs. The debut “In Passing Ascension” is a huge improvement from their first official release (2014’s “Forseeing Exemptions To A Dismal Beyond” EP on Tridroid Records) and is what the band calls “cosmic blackened death metal” while claiming big influences ranging from Inquisition and Mgla to The Chasm and Dead Congregation.
