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.

Don’t you just love bands who are popping out of nowhere, presenting a first demo which sounds like it is released 30 years ago?

Channeling the primal sounds of early 90s Black Metal, Mystic Spear’s music is a haunting tapestry of ancient evil, woven with raw, uncompromising intensity. ‘Outer Darkness’ beholds variation in pace, from rapid riffing to gloomy mid-tempo unholy rites assisted by godless raspy vocals.

A well-executed salute towards the old school traditions of the genre and recommended for those who think the early Second Wave Black Metal still rules supreme. Black Metal Mysticism indeed!
