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 Evil Force from Paraguay rings a bell for you, you probably own one of the 7 splits they have in their discography. “Banging on the Pentagram” reeks of 1980s Thrash, from the first till the last second. For example, the sound of the drum fills is almost the same as on Necrodeath’s “The Flag Of The Inverted Cross” on their “Into the Macabre” album. I have to say I love that sound. Evil Force isn’t influenced by Necrodeath, as their Thrash Metal has more melodic patterns and sometimes even NWOBHM-twin leads. And when you listen to “Devastation Time” it has a huge Venom vibe and on Toxic Warfare it has some Sodom’s “Agent Orange” riff going on. To sum it up: Teutonic Thrash, NWOBHM-twin leads, Venom. “Banging on the Pentagram” was fun to listen to, but itisn’t mandatory to expand your collection with. (Ricardo)
