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

If you’re into Thrash, it seems you have to check out Italy lately. Warstorm isn’t the first one to play the US kind of this violent music style. Well, mostly US. Overall the tracks are a bit longer than the usual shock and awe approach of fast Thrash songs. Warstorm is slightly different, a bit more technical and progressive compared with most of their country mates and a producing a bit more riffs (Exodus, Annihilator and later Testament influenced) within a song. The fact they play Kreator’s “Phobia” as a cover during live gigs and have a 10-minute closing track, probably gives you clue as well that this isn’t a 100% retro 1980’s Thrash band. Only I’m not a big fan of the vocals as I think a slight lower and wider vocal range would fit in more with the style. (Ricardo)
