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 might be the most dull-sounding name for a band ever, yet Alchemist is one of the longest running bands from downunder and are gaining little by little the recognition they – are said to – deserve. They are certainly a one-of-a-kind band that mixes allmost all kinds of metal and hardrock into one solid piece of music. What the exact reason is for the release of this collection is unknown to me, but I know there wasn’t enough money to get the full discography remastered and packaged, which is a true pity. Yet, for a starter this Alchemist 2CD collection is quite a nice introduction, it also gives a quick historical overview of the bands’ career. It is something that you need to grow into, and though I am not the biggest fan I enjoyed the ride.
