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

Not a lot is known of Nupta Cadavera, Latin for “marriage with a corpse”, as the bunch behind the band remain anonymous although it seems to be an international group of musicians, including members of the Korpsånd Circle in Denmark. What is a fact is that this 7” EP contains 2 songs which is considered as their debut material.

With a bleak guitar sound and raspy vocals, the use of melodic synths is a nice contrast that fits just fine. The first song “Metaphysical Cruelty”, I’ve been listening to that one over and over again. There is a certain synth part throughout the whole song that resembles  with a 80s synth song…and I just hate it that I can’t come up with it directly. Frustrating as hell, the intellectual equivalent of stepping on Lego…sort of.

But at the end, a fine piece of old school 90s Black Metal, both grim and melodic thanks to using the synths the right way. (Ricardo)
