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

This year many good demos have been released and Deconsecration from Seattle, Washington is one of the Death/Doom bands of which I have the opportunity to hear. With the bright cover colours and interesting artwork I wanted to dive into their world of darkness.

The haunting intro to the growling sound and the melodious guitar made me drown in death.  The song “Death Scars” really left an impression while the good combination between two guitars and the old school drumming part you can hear on “Galvanized”,  makes this song even more interesting. Damn! It reminds me of Hooded Menace man…Aaarghhh!

The mood swings are more prominent in the song “Ghost” making Deconsecration more aggressive and energetic in exploring the mysterious realms. “Imploding Ascent” is my favourite song on this demo, the mixture of a Black Metal sound with a deep growling vocal, changing drum beats and fantastic guitar riffs, makes me forget the slow tempo of the previous songs. Deconsecration are able to make more with what they have, looking forward to hear the next tunes of Doom! Great job guys!

To the demo hunter, Its time to keep Deconsecration in your Death/Doom library! (MKD)
