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.

A savagely dark two track debut demo by Äes from Tampere in Finland. Äes combine desperate howling vocals with cavernous drum beats which sit low in the mix, as do the ravenous sounding guitar leads. This demo is dominated by the vocals but as the anguished voice of Äes dies down the menacing, sinister gloom of the guitars and the thick, satisfying rumble of the bass take a firm grip on this ode to total and impenetrable darkness. This is mid paced Black Metal just how I want it to sound, dissonant and bone rattling with its bass lead groove, and starkly terrifying with its feral vocal display.
