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

Kryptamok from Finland is the brainchild of Hex Inferni, better known for his bass work within Horna and handling the guitars in Necromonastery among other bands. The Black Metal on the first demo of Kryptamok has its fundament in the Scandinavian Second Wave Black Metal, with variation in speed and melody as well as atmosphere.

The atmosphere is quite haunting sort of speak at some times, created by an organ like sound. Furious and haunting, a good combination with Black Metal especially when it is well played like on this demo. A decent effort for sure. (Ricardo)
