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

One of the longest-running Dutch Black Metal acts, Sammath and WolfKult Religion are joining forces to add lustre to the band’s 30th anniversary (in 2024). A new vinyl-only EP featuring the brand new ‘Amongst The Dead In The Darkness’ will be released in early 2025. The fitting artwork was created exclusively for Sammath by Dylan Humphries.

Expect nothing but an all-annihilating sonic war machine from that, in the one and only Sammath tradition; perhaps the band’s best song to date. ‘Amongst The Dead In The Darkness’ will mark the return of Koos Bos, who was already with Sammath from 2001 until 2016, and can be heard on the releases ‘Dodengang’, ‘Triumph In Hatred’ & ‘Godless Arrogance’. Bos replaced Wim Van Der Valk, who decided to retire from drumming after 35 years.
In other news; Sammath’s 8th album is upcoming via Hammerheart Records and both Zwaertgevegt and Doc-Records teamed up to re-release the 1997 demo ‘De Ruïnes Fluisteren’ on cassette, vinyl and CD.
