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

Gitrog is a fairly new band from Germany, with one blackened soul in charge called Schemen who is serving you some Black Heraldic Metal to consume. Besides the vibe and slight fuzzy sound of mid 1990s Black Metal with lots of variation in vocals (be it the usual Black Metal screams, a desperate DSBM scream or a deep-toned baritone), you will also hear some occasional intermezzos as a prelude for the forthcoming song. Actually, when it comes to the music itself, there is variation in it as well. I think a safe comparison is a mix between mid 1990s Black Metal, repeating riffs and Urfaust for the dark atmosphere, which makes it a release with some interesting parts. I’m curious how this will evolve. (Ricardo)
