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

Caligari Records from Tampa, Florida, offers to your attention the second EP of the international band Skumstrike called “Execution Void”. What you will find here are five blasting tracks of dirty Black/Thrash metal with raw underground sound.

Skumstrike’s line-up consists of L.A from Ireland on guitars, ZS from Singapore on drums/vocals and FD from Canada on bass. So we have three guys from three continents that are tormenting your ears with piercing guitar riffs, pounding drums and screeching Black Metal vocals. Besides the Thrash/Black sound, you can clearly hear their Punk influence and even some Rock’n’Roll vibes in the beginning of “The Deserter”.

“Execution Void” offers a lot of energy that will make your neck move up and down in the murderous rhythm of Skumstrike. Some d-beat/crust is also thrown in so the bleeding from your ears is guaranteed! A worthy release that you should definitely check out if you are into bestial Black/Thrash/Punk stuff! (Zvetan)
