5 Excellent - Masterpiece. A classic.
4.5-4 Great - Almost perfect records but there's probably a lacking.

3 Average - Some good songs, some bad ones at about a half/half ratio.
2.5-2 Fair - Worth a listen, but best obtained by collectors.
1.5-1 Bad - Major problems with music, lyrics, production, etc.
0 Terrible - Waste of your life and time.

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.

Tightly synced band using blazing riffs, melody and madness
Hailing from Alexandria Virginia, P:FF founders Tim Gutierrez and Kevin 131 found the perfect match for there sound with the addition of the remarkable Eric Forrest (E*Force/Voivod) to the fold. This trio created 10 tracks of chaotic thrash metal kind of like (early) Fear Factory meets Voivod coupled with those dark belted vocals of Forrest (watch out for the clean vox, "Scene Of The Crime", SWEET!).

The title track grabs you right up front with a sonic explosion of pounding bass and choppy riffs (found throughout). "Planet Dead" and "Highwire Act" are standouts sure to please any metal fan. The bone chilling "9mm Movie" and then "Long Silent Voices" with some great beakdowns using the piano. Venom fans take note this disc contains a killer version of "WARHEAD"!

What surprises me most is how one moment they can sound like Anathema or My Dying Bride and then bust out the tempo of a Dying Fetus song. Sure its been done before but I'm not sure as well as this. There is a barrage of instruments used on this album including violin, cello, piano and keyboards. P:FF is a tightly synced band using blazing riffs, melody and madness to create one devastating debut. The production and sound quality are superb, comparable to Devin Townsend or Fredrik Nordstrom. But it was self produced-- amazing.
