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.

Doomy version of frosty death metal
Rather basic and elementary, Austria's Adamon offer up a doomy version of frosty death metal similar to early My Dying Bride or Morgion. The riffs are slow but calculated, however the pacing leaves something to be desired. Cuts like "Odin's Eye" rise from the ice like Amon Amarth with that northern penchant for Viking mythology. Other songs like "Still Alive" are slightly more diverse with some cleaner vocals and different arrangements. The percussion is probably a little more spaced out than necessary, contributing to the plodding development of the songs. I would be curious to see the evolution of the band based on this average output.
