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

While metal underground is filled with mouthful band names, this Chicago based band describes their sound very straightforward, as in ‘the name says it all’. Some of you might be familiar with the works of Ov Plagues, Black Devotion and Oblivion Worship where the members (hiding under very specific names) also perform.

Last years “Black Death Terroristic Onslaught” is not what you would call an album, it is a manifestation of the infernal abyss. Under a thick layer of hypnotic guitars and blast beats there are barely audible bestial death noises (there is no way to call these ‘vocals’), which create that specific cavernous sound. Simple structure, raw production, and absolutely no melody, leads or solos make things even darker and actually, more brutal.

This murky masterpiece will be perfect for the fans of Teitanblood, Adversarial and early Impetuous Ritual, while the rest might just see it as incomprehensible noise.
