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

One of Mexico’s strongest bands are back with a compilation called “Obsequies of the Immemorial”. Included are the EPs “Immense Carnage Vortex”, “11°22​.​4’N 142°35​.​5’E”, some other unreleased material including cover versions and livetracks. To those who didn`t had the chance to grab those gems now you can have it all on one album, except for the debut album which would have been nice. Denial play a very Finnish/Swedish style of death metal with down tuned guitars (Rippikoulu and the likes), tempos from slow mo bangers to ultrafast blast orgies.  all with an eerie tone. Shredding some wierd, dark Lovecraftian tones reminiscent from bands like Demigod, Funebrarum and some others. The production varies from release to release but is great on every aspect. The covers from bands like Dream Death or Cenotaph are killer, you won’t miss them. This is a great and makes me curious to know If the upcoming album (yes, a new one will be out this year) will be on par with the rest of their makings. Great compilation which I recommend (even If the debut is missing) and  Death metal lunatics should grab this. (DPF)
