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

Some modern sounding melodic Death/Black Metal from the soil of the US. I read labels like Blackened Deathcore, but therefore there is too less –core in the music to call it like that. If it even is a real style. Although the logo could be a bit more “metal” than “core, but maybe it’s just splitting hairs. Although I don’t like the drum sound (sounds more like a drum computer, especially the double bass) as it could sound a bit more genuine, the songs aren’t bad at all. It’s like they mixed some new Hecate Enthroned, new Cradle of Filth, late Lord Belial and let’s say a bit of Estuary and some old Abigail Williams. All this with the variation of a growl and a scream. I paint you quite a picture, don’t I. And although I can’t say everything is enjoyable on “Black Majesty”, still they have ideas and parts (leads, riffs) that are giving inspiration for a good second album. (Ricardo)
