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

In 2013 Alkonost released an album called “?????? ??????????” which is now kind of re-released. But not in a way with only new artwork or something like that. No, it’s rereleased in an English version, the songs seems to be rearranged and the female vocals are rerecorded by the new vocalist. Which stands is the style of Alkonost, as the Pagan/Folk Metal is done in a mostly up-tempo and melodic way, accompanied with a Opera, or Soprano if you will, Therion (“Vovin”) like vocals with a traditional touch. From time to time a growl will enter your ears to spice it up a little, or like a track as “All Alone (Loneliness Time)”, you will hear the growl of Maxim Shtanke as main vocals. “Tales of Wanderings” is worth to check out if you’re into Pagan Metal a Soprano Female vocals.
