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

In the Viking mythology Urdabrunnen is the well of fate. On their second album the one-man band Fjellltrone from Linkoping (Sweden) mix dark ambient sounds, traditional northern Viking melodies of sadness and cruelty with 90´s Black Metal à la Burzum.

After listening to the album the first time I felt very uneasy. It took me a few days to listen to it a second time. After listening to the album a second time I still felt uneasy. The songs have such an emotional upsetting magic which is very hard to explain. The traditional melodies and sounds are so perfectly combined with the resurrected Burzum spirit that Fjelltrone can definitely be mistaken for any other band. (HaCeBo)
