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

This demo begins with one of thé utmost beautiful intros ever conceived: celestial soundtrack-like religious choral parts swell into ecstasy, a priest trying to exorcise a demon (?), only to by mocked by the repetition of his Holy words by a coarse demonic voice…So beautiful, so divine.

And then: a slab of primitive satanic Black Metal, full of heavy rumbling bass, thundering repetitive hammering drums and rudimentary, yet effective guitars bursts through your speakers. A rotten, slimy voice utters sacrileges of the worst kind.  And everything turns black before your eyes. What do The Gates of Sinn sound like? Well … think of Profanatica & Havohej and you’re there. Although I must admit The Gates of Sinn are a bit more dynamic.

You know what you’re getting yourself into with The Gates of Sinn. 5 tracks of disgusting satanic Black Metal. Not original? Who gives a flying fuck anyway? Just give it a listen. (LV)
