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

Review Date: May 1, 2017

Sex, drinks and metal could have been a good influence or at least something that comes to mind when listening to Master of Cruelty`s second album „Archaic Visions of the Underworld“. These guys from Paraguay know how to combine black/death/thrash metal into a headbanging, skullcrushing, poserkilling (molotov)cocktail that won’t let you breath so easy. The production is raw, ugly, but audible, you can hear everything pretty well, works in their favor. The songs have enough variation, going from blast attacks like DD Crazy did in early Sarcofago years, to black metal attacks in the riffdepartment like Darkthrone did in their early days. I even find some Mortuary Drape in it(very cool indeed). Some Sodom up tempo parts here and there, vocals reminding a bit of Nocturno Culto proclaiming their visions of an archaic underworld. Great old school sounding black/death/thrash. Fans of that kind of mix will love it. (DPF)
