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

The fourth release in 2012 for Venus Star multi-instrumentalist Atvar, who has some other bands and projects as well. It seems Finland has more hours than 24 hours a day and told nobody about it. “Wild Grains & Turningheads” is a murky and primitive Black/Death EP with down tuned and distorted mid tempo guitars. The track “Lesser Numbers (for the Fleer)” could be a midtempo with Polka drumbeat-like Mortician song, only with a demo sound. While “Nighteater” has a gloomy yet Black Metal repeating melody (it has a kind of siren-call feeling) line on the background which gives that particular song a nice edge. This is not for every Death/Black Metal fan as it quite obscure, but I did not have one moment to skip a track, but concerning duration, I do think an EP is long enough. (Ricardo)
