Note: Reviews are graded from 0-5, anything higher or not showing is from our old style. Scores, however, do not reveal the important features. The written review that accompanies the ratings is the best source of information regarding the music on our site. Reviewing is opinionated, not a qualitative science, so scores are personal to the reviewer and could reflect anything from being technically brilliant to gloriously cheesy fun.

Demos and independent releases get some slack since the bands are often spent broke supporting themselves and trying to improve. Major releases usually have big financial backing, so they may be judged by a heavier hand. All scores can be eventually adjusted up or down by comparison of subsequent releases by the same band. We attempt to keep biases out of reviews and be advocates of the consumer without the undo influence of any band, label, management, promoter, etc.

The best way to determine how much you may like certain music is to listen to it yourself.

12/1/2013 - Review by: Eric Compton
Bonehead thrash proficiency
Frank Thomas never gets much credit. The vocalist and guitarist has fronted Germany's Accuser since 1986, carrying the torch in much the same way as other non-big three ilk like Rage, Holy Moses, and Tankard. 'Diabolic' is another example of the band's bonehead thrash proficiency, albeit more in the pocket than predecessors. This is the band's ninth album to date and continues the trend of different line-ups permeating their catalog. At some point one would think Accuser finds a bigger audience or gains the respect they deserve.
