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

A year has passed since the promising EP „Pupil of the Searing Maelstrom“ came out which already put Almyrkvi on the map as one of the upcoming bands from Iceland. What you get is perfectly recorded atmospheric black metal with a look in the future of the genre of how black metal could evolve . Great deep grunting vocals morphing into haunting clean passages, very versatile drumming and a sort of Bölzerish guitar vibe here and there without the need to copy the band. Icelandic frost and darkness included. This could be the morphosis of Schammash and Bölzer adding a hint of newer Blaze of Perdition. Everyone at the instruments knows his duties. Don`t forget the Evil Dead like horror ambient parts. Dark ambient at its best. Definitely one of the best releases in 2017. Iceland rules. (DPF)
