The EP starts with an atmospheric pre-lude transitioning into "Whispers Of Sacrophagy", a mid-tempo extended instrumental part with spine-chilling melodies driven by the lead guitars and crushing basslines. After this two-minute opener, there is a seamless transition into "Macabre Procession" which really comes to life in terms of speed and aggression. The riffing is tight, the pace is crazy, and the growling vocals are brutal ranging mostly at the low end of the guttural range with some tonal shifts to higher pitched screams. The majority of the track is fast, only interrupted by a mid-tempo break. There is another seamless transition into "Smoking Of My Enemies" and it keeps the momentum going in terms of speed and insanity. The riffing is powerful and direct. "Smoking Of My Enemies" is a back and forth of different rhythms and it starts again with an extended instrumental part. The track is entirely driven by the guitar riffing, while the vocals play hardly any role and are just worth being mentioned in a footnote. Highlight of the track is the lead guitar solo at the end of the track. Although it is technically simple, it gives the track an additional layer and freshens things up.

While the title song is an inter-lude with a purpose that is not obvious to me, "Exhumation Of The Ancients" continues with the Death Metal assault. It starts at crazy speed with direct riffing, a lot of double-bass drumming and a few blast-beats. The riffing and for most parts the drumming have a lot of Thrash Metal vibes. The deep growling vocals sound a bit subdued for most of the time. The extended lead guitar solo contributes very well to the song. "Exhumation Of The Ancients" is clearly the highlight of "Dust" and there is no surprise that it was released as official video with the YouTube link provided below. The final track of "Dust" is "བྱ་གཏོར" which is Tibetan and describes the Tibetan funeral practice of excarnation. The track is pure insanity and frantic speed with plenty of blast-beats and flesh-ripping guitar riffs. The vocals undergo permanent tonal shifts from the low growls to higher pitched screams. There is a break at a slow measured pace with doom-laden melodies by the lead guitars and grim guitar riffing, all intensified by a background choir. The break is the finale of the EP and is a good way to end "Dust".

The last four songs are the rereleased tracks of "Dogma". For those, not familiar with THRONE OF FLESH, it is a good opportunity to listen to the earlier material of the band. Altogether, the songs fit into the sound framework of "Dust", although I feel, "Dogma" is rawer, darker, and more aggressive than "Dust". If I look at both EPs together, my favorite songs come from "Dogma" such as "24 Obnoxious Reeks Of Holiness" or "Tracheotomized By Ants".

THRONE OF FLESH deliver an EP that leaves me with mixed feelings. The sound on "Dust" is a Death Metal sound that is average at best. Highlights of the EP are the rereleased songs from their debut EP "Dogma". Compared to "Dogma", "Dust" does not offer something new or different. The songwriting needs improving, and the vocals lack distinctiveness. The EP is well produced. Given the large number of Death Metal releases, I doubt that "Dust" will be remembered for a long time, however, Death Metal fans might like what they hear and with some improvements in songwriting, THRONE OF FLESH might show that they are a promising Death Metal band with their first full-length release in the future.
