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

“Demo MMXX” is the debut release of this depressive Black Metal duo from French territories.

It has 4 tracks with a total of 26 minutes of dark and sad melodies and I would like to say that the voice reminds me of Mayhem´s Attila, but in a melancholic way, which is really great in my opinion.

The drumming during “From the Void of Their Mind “ has an impressive double bass  and we can hear a quite technical guitar sound, while second track “Prophet of Doomsday” has a huge Darkthrone influence on it. The beginning of this song reminds me of an early Darkthrone style and we can witness a faster Black Metal style.

The “Funeral Wedding “ returns to a slower tempo and more atmospheric sound which turns into a good blackened Doom composition, full of chaos and melancholy. To finish the demo we have “The Sphere of Chaos” which is a song that has more ambient elements and concludes the demo as a good last track.

I strongly recommend this band for fans of early Burzum or Mayhem. One important aspect I would like to highlight is that this demo was released by the famous Osmose Productions tape format limited to 100 copies as well as a 10″ vinyl version limited to 300 copies. (Manuel Sanchez)
