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

A threesome from Sweden with an oriental name…why would you do that? And after listening to this second full-length album I know what reason it perhaps could be. According to me it’s just because their sound is special in its own way…a blend of d-beat (the main ingredient), rawpunk, black metal, hardcore, speed metal and rock ‘n roll, but executed in a very energetic manner. But I have to warn you, cause I don’t think that a normal metal fan will embrace this album. Therefore there’s too many sizzle going on at “Heavy Mental Fuck-Up”. The production is very neat and the guitar-and bass riffs are fast and get a great backing from the drums, accompanied with aggressive vocals, but in it’s general this is too much to swallow with the different styles involved in this album for me personally. Also all tracks have oriental names but after several listening sessions, I can answer affirmative: English. As said: very special. (Fredde)
