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

Deathrite from Dresden,Germany present their fourth full length album which happens to be their debut for the mighty Century Media. As far as I read online, this band used to play grindcore/death metal before this album but there isn’t much left from that on “Nightmares Reign”. What you will find here is a mid-tempo black/thrash metal inspired mainly by bands such as Darkthrone. The production is oldschool, with raw sound that is typical for this type of releases. Deathrite’s music is not bad but for a band with four albums behind their backs, the material on “Nightmares Reign” sounds quite average. Some of the tracks last more than seven minutes but don’t offer much good and interesting ideas and nothing really stands out. I will check Deathrite old grindcore records but this one isn’t something I will play often on my stereo….
