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

In our first issue, I have written a review of their ‘I Shall Die upon This Putrefaction’ demo and was impressed about it. Not long after writing the review, the news dropped in that Xtreem Music signed these guys, which would be label that fits like a glove. Strangely enough nothing was heard about this collaboration since.

Putrefact kept on writing filthy Old School Death Metal and Pulverised Records is the one who released this 7”. The two tracks differ from each other. The first track ‘We Were Deceased’ is without doubt a continuation of the demo when it comes to the vibe and influences, although I dare to say it’s less Swedish than the demo. The fast and groove parts alternate within the songs, which is different with the track called ‘II’. A slow and lurking song with ditto riffs as well as some reverberation on the vocals to create an obscure atmosphere. There is a faster part in the song to keep the variation going, still the emphasis is on darkness and slow. The track closes with a typical UK Doom lead to make the dark atmosphere complete.

Not bad but I think the demo was better.
