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

UK Old School Death Metal is alive and kickin’ without any doubt, although the phrase “alive and kickin’” is a bit odd regarding the musical style and themes. Oozing and rottin’ it is!

Ryan Wills, the lad behind this one-man project, isn’t one who makes life difficult as Seven Doors is straightforward Old School Death Metal…and good solos. Although the basis is 90s US Death Metal, during “Blinding Horrors” he adds a bit of a doomy Asphyx passage but then easily transforms the song into a Death rhythm riff and solo, James Murphy style. You will hear old Deicide, old Cannibal Corpse, Sinister’s “Cross the Styx” as well and solos…oh the sweet solos; just give “Cellar Dweller” a listen and when you’re at it, just give the whole EP a good listen cause it is a fine one.

Fulci, zombies, horror, 90s Death Metal…this review could be a lot shorter…
