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

With two tracks spanning a total of 8 minutes, Finland’s Unohdus’ arrival on the Black Metal scene is short but sweet. The atmospheric Black Metal in these two songs shows the one-man band from a diverse side, with the second track ‘Pohjatuuli’ emphasizing a more uptempo and melodic approach to the genre. However, the song somewhat pales in comparison to the stunning opener ‘Niin turhaan t​ä​hdet valaisivat meitä’. In particular the beautifully interwoven violins, arranged and performed by Matthew Dakoutros, stand out as a melancholic highlight in the mid-paced dreamy atmospheric Black Metal with harsh vocals that at times leans on Post Black Metal territories. Clearly, a promising release making Unohdus a band to keep an eye on for the future!
