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

I don`t know a lot of bands in metal without guitars, especially when they play some extreme War Metal sound like the Italians from Thecodontion do, which is somehow a refreshing thing to my ears. The bass sound is distorted and rumbles with cave like darkness into the space. The drums are pushing hard, more on the fast side of the spectrum. The vocals are offering a counterpart to the bass, which results in some higher shrieks in most of the parts. Some Blasphemy like solos can`t be missed as well groovy lines that turn into head banging moments. Sometimes the sound reminds me of some Macabre eruption, in a more primitive approach. This is pure straightforward Black Metal of death with some cool and innovative things which hopefully will develop even more in the future to make the sound stand out a bit more. Cool demo. (DPF)
