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

This album is an absolute perfect soundtrack for cold and dark winter days. When I first took a look on the tracklist I thought this is just an EP. There are just five songs on the album and the first one is also an instrumental intro. But after seeing the duration of the songs it was clear that this is the second full length album of this Canadian Black Metal band Nachteule.

I have mixed feelings about this album. On terms of the songwriting and creating a cold and dark atmosphere Nachteule did a very great job. They are also using panflutes and other instruments on the right time. But there is also a huge BUT for me and that is the production. I don´t know if Nachteule planned a sound like that but in 2018 you can easily create a better song with any computer or iPad at home. Nachteule has a very great potential but I don´t think  that you will listen to the  album more than once or twice. I hope the production/sound will be better in the future otherwise Nachteule is just one of many other bands. (HaCeBo)
