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

If a word is already taken by another band, you just corrupt the word a bit to make it your own. Bye bye Decapitated, hello Dekapited. Although “Dekapited” seems to mean “Decapitated” in Haitian Creole…Who said you can’t learn anything of a review on Extreme Metal? Dekapited from Chile are giving a short EP to the Thrash Metal community to let them know they are still alive after the release of their debut “Nacidos del odio” in 2015. The band on this EP is 75% different as 3 members left and only Camilo Pierattini (also involved with Invocation Spells) stayed in and recruited new blood. The Thrash metal on “Sin Misericordia” is 1980s influenced as you will hear some Slayer (first two albums, the end of the title track is even a little wink towards the instrumental beginning of “Hell Awaits”), Sadus / Merciless (The speed! The speed!), Sodom, typical gang shouts and that lovely drum fill sound of early Sepultura and Necrodeath. Ok, I agree…nothing original, but I think you’re reading the wrong fanzine if you are looking for something “original”. This is a 1980s Thrash job well done! (Ricardo)
