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

Started their rotten journey in 2015 and created so many cool tracks that they even bothered to release a demo or an EP and went straight for a full-length. From the very first second you have that warm and satisfying ‘oh boy oh boy oh boy, this is Old School to the bone!’-feeling and let me tell you that your ears aren’t betraying you. There isn’t a full blast-fest on ‘…In The Cemetery’, as the drums are the groove machine on which the riffs are swaying their Dance Macabre on.

Although there is a hint of the golden era-Swedeath, the emphasis is more towards old Pestilence and Asphyx and not in the last place by the Martin van Drunen-like vocals of Jardel Stick. This is one fine Old School Death Metal debut by Echoes of Death and if you are enjoying a new Old School Death Metal act like Pyre, you will probably enjoy this one as well.
