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

Melodic Black Metal from Florida, a region that beholds so many great Death Metal releases. This time it’s The Noctambulant with their debut full-length after releasing 3 EP’s. “Advocatus Diaboli” is certainly Melodic and more the European way instead of the traditional USBM sound. It has hints of nowadays Naglfar (“Téras”) mixed with some Dark Funeral during the fast parts (“Vobiscum Satanas”) and even slightly late Cradle of Filth, if you strip it all the way down, (not the high shrieks of Dani Filth, nor the bombastic sound) at some points. Still, at the end I don’t hear something ravishing or memorable. Maybe less groove and staccato moments and more focusing on sticking melodic guitar lines, could do the trick for the next album.
