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

What you get here is some rather bland Death Metal with a few Thrash elements.  None of the songs really stand out, with most moving in between different upbeat tempos, with a somewhat catchy groove here and there, but nothing really remarkable.  The generic, modern studio production does not help much, either.  The band probably makes for an energetic live experience, but seasoned Death Metal listeners will toss this among the less-visited CDs in their collection.  A Death Metal newbie who seeks something new but “old-school” might find this album engaging, but I would much rather just listen to a Death/Thrash album from the late 80s/ early 90s instead of this.
