Black Dust - Katorga on a Distant Planet - CD, MC

Debut EP by the duo from Tbilisi, Georgia Black Dust. A nearly 30-minute runtime over 6 tracks takes a death metal journey through parts unknown. With cover art and a title like that, you know what you're getting into before you even hear the instrumental opener - twisting, foreboding, cosmic death metal for the ages. Similar in style to early Blood Incantation but with a more primitive edge - I wouldn't be surprised if these guys end up in a similar limelight in years to come.
