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.

Popular Reviews
Just when you though Black Metal was stale, Oranssi Pazuzu unleash their brand of Psychedelic Black Metal and step into a category all of their own. Yes, there are bands that blend Black Metal and Psychedelic (such as recent Nachtmystium releases), but no one does it quite like these lads from Finland.
Their songs are filled with minimum traces of modern distortion, lots of 60's style keyboards, unique drumming, yet they have some of the sickest black metal vocals every recorded. Every song is truly unique and different. If you’re looking for the next big thing in the Black Metal scene then look no further than Oranssi Pazuzu.
