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

Melodic death metal wasn`t that present on my map the last months, so I was curious to see If Insomnium could change that with their new album „Winter`s Gate“, a 40 minutes song in the vein of Edge of Sanity`s „Crimson“, or at least inspired by it. And yes they did, for most of the length. Landscapes of ice and seas, mountains(of might), and hordes of Vikings, all these things come to mind while listening to this effort. Different emotions, feelings throughout the album, thanks to great musicianship and songwriting. In the middle of the album it gets a bit lost just zo turn back stronger towards the end. A very ambitious album every fan of melodic death metal should check out If you aren`t afraid of lengthy songs. (DPF)
