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

rBapho are two young dudes residing in New Dehli and they formed rBapho in april 2019. Lyrically they focus on cosmic phenomena, Tibetan Buddhism and the deity Vairocana. Trust me, to sound evil and vile you don’t always have to kiss the devils ass. After Michael Caine recites his speech taken from the “Iterstellar” movie.

rBapho kicks in with “Cosmic Boneyard”. After a slow sludgy start, the band picks up the pace and keeps up this ramming speed throughout the whole song. “Emphysema” is more midpaced but etalates some flashy guitarwork. Though the production is very rough and basic, I can definitely hear some potential underneath the raw and modest compositions. Keep in mind that these guys only formed back in april 2019.

rBapho covers “Out of the body” by Pestilence and I have to admit i’m no big Pestilence admirer. But to hear “Out of the body” in a less technical, more simplistic and raw version is sort of refreshing.

Nice effort guys, keep on ramming. (Franki_boj)
