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

In November 2015 the debut full-length album titled ‘Anatomy of an Angel’ was release by Greek thrashers Benefactor Decease. Thrash metal is their cup of tea, and if you like fast and straight-forward thrash metal with a modern touch, then this could be your kind of music. But I have to be honest, cause nothing new or exciting will be discovered here, unfortunately this album hasn’t left a great impression behind. The production is neat, however I find that there’s some kind of distortion on the guitars that keeps on coming back and gives me a bad taste and a big frown. Sometimes they try to insert some variation in their sound, like the funny bass loop in the title track, the spoken words in ‘Chronicles of a Paraphiliak’ and the long duration of song ‘Abandonment to the Hanger’. Also a crossover-style has been added in these 10 tracks, but as stated above…nothing new, just an average thrash metal album, but perhaps you’ll find it worth to check out. (Fredde)
