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

Could it indeed be ‘the final chapter’? This is now their fifth full-length album and it contains 12 tracks, including one cover, namely ‘Evil Invaders’ by Razor and I think this version is probably a bit more brutal and faster.

This is really value for money! The album contains a lot of variety; they play a fast track followed by a slow track, and this continues throughout the entire album. It’s great to go wild to the faster tracks like ‘Inseminated Adoption’ or ‘Dominion’ and wonderfully enjoyable to relax to the quieter tracks like ‘A Coming Race’ or ‘The Final Chapter’. This is the best work that Hypocrisy has delivered so far, and it would be a shame if it were also the last.

All the tracks once again feature the theme of abduction by extraterrestrial beings, and therefore it’s a pity that only the lyrics of the last (and also title track) are printed. If they stop, I hope they will at least do a farewell tour. Otherwise, we will never be able to witness beautiful tracks like ‘Inquire Within’ or ‘Request Denied’ live and be swept away by their sounds.

Death metal fans and people who are into atmospheric Doom/Death, seize your chance and buy this brilliant album!
