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

There are Death Metal band out there who focus mainly on gore that consider what they do as filth. but you and I my faithful readers know what truly makes an album filthy, and apparently so does MYI, the man behind the Chilean Death/Doom solo project whose debut album ‘Occvlta Caerimonia Putridvm’ is unadulterated, pure filth! It’s the down tuned riff/bass line combination more than anything, though the Sunn O))) inspired second track ‘CasdaMósfrénO(((alas’ certainly adds to the overall disgraceful and satisfying nature of the album as a whole. Opening track ‘Devorant Corpus Meum in Tenebris Putridum’ is a twelve and a half minute long excursion into the bowels of hell; through the medium of slow, chasm dwelling guitar leads that scrape the very bottom of the abyss whilst simultaneously feasting upon the gnarly, pummelling bass tones that propels this album from something truly heavy into something far more menacing. And yet, despite the gruelling, oppressive nature of the opening track, or the droning all encompassing tones of the second, it is the album finale that takes top spot! ‘(Portal) Con las Vísceras Expuestas la Iluminación Cadavérica me Sacraliza’ is a sizzling, abrasive old school Death metal bout of savagery that simmers and broods in the cauldron of extremity and adds a final layer of putridity and desolation on top of an already horrifically beautiful album. truly this review nearly wrote itself, as Miasma of Occvlt Limbs is one of the easiest projects to write about that I’ve encountered in an age!
