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

If you are a fairly new Thrash combo from Germany, you’re doomed to get the label “Teutonic Thrash” slapped on yer ass and the Kreator, Sodom and Destruction references will fly around all over the place. And yes, they definitely have listened to some good old late 1980s Kreator, Sodom and Destruction during the process of writing songs. But they haven’t forgotten the US version of Thrash as well as there are some Slayer-like leads present. Although there are some fast tracks on “Home is where War is” (like “Endless Nightmare”) the focus is mostly on “Groovy” within Nucleator and the vocals are more a death metal growl than the common Thrash rasping ones. I consider this above average as the groovy parts are quite mediocre while the fast parts are enjoyable. (Ricardo)
