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

Although Nowen already have released some stuff, the band isn’t really one of the most famous bands from Finland. Musicwise I would say that “Essence of Fear” is a mix of Scandinavian Melodic Death Metal and the technical side of Detonation (The Netherlands). The Thrash riffs has a bit of more modern sounding Thrash vibe like Destruction nowadays or The Haunted on “One Kill Wonder”. The pace changes and the progressive Death (think “Human”) or Carcariass-like bass touches gives a little bit extra. A decent and well played album by Nowen!(Ricardo)
