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

Canada has a long history in Black Metal, being the home of well-known bands and artists. Vrexiza is a trio from Ontario, Toronto, set to do their share in spreading Black Metal in the frozen vast lands of the North. They pull it off very well, if I may say.

Four tracks about War and Conflicts that do not fall into the cheesy War Metal sound. In fact, I consider their music to have a certain level of complexity, elaborated details, here and there, that make up for a very good release. Inspired by world conflicts, the self-titled Demo is an excellent presentation for a band that fused the violent side to the melodic side, and ended up with these 4 tracks. It has power, it has riffs and hooks, and it has a high level of energy! Sometimes one should keep it short, and precise, for there is no real need to stretch things.

Vrexiza is Black Metal, and their Black Metal is good. (DanielP)
