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

Absolutum are a Black Metal band founded in 2016 with the goal to spread dark hymns the ancient way (90s). Their debut EP “I” was released early this year through The Crawling Chaos Records on tape. The members are no strangers in the scene and know their crafts. Most parts are on fury with long lasting blast beats, double bass groove  accompanied with morbid melodies and high distorted vocals the black (metal) way. The EP has it`s interesting parts, most when the band is capable to change speeds and just let the music flow, adding some great leads over the riff carpet. Sometimes I felt a bit lost, maybe to its shortness of some songs, or just the not so memorable parts, which is a minor right know (but only time will tell right?). The production is perfect for this kind of style. A bit more, not catchiness, but at least variations or surprising moments would be good to not being buried in the masses. Still a good first output, which lacks in originality but has it`s strengths in execution. Let`s see what these guys will be capable off in the future. (DPF)
