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

The Australian Rift started a short-lived first stint in mid-00s as a project of Balam, known for his work within Nazxul, Drowning the Light and Pestilential Shadows, and released and EP called “Eyes of the Basilisk”, which was released by GoatowaRex, in 2006. Right after that this album got recorded but didn’t see the light of the day.

In 2021 Balam contacted A.S. of Order of Orias to finally complete the album with his vocals. If you enjoy your Black Metal in a synth-like atmospheric kind of way, with a hazy and fuzzy guitar sound, then “To Quench the Thirst of Wolves” is an album to check out.

The dark melodies are spot on and if you would like to step down of the voracious kind of Black Metal and enjoy the beauty in darkness for a bit, I can recommend this album for sure. (Ricardo)
