5 Excellent - Masterpiece. A classic.
4.5-4 Great - Almost perfect records but there's probably a lacking.
3.5 Good - Most of the record is good, but there may be some filler.
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.

Alrighty death metallers, here is a Belgian band sure to kick your ass.

If you are looking for brutal, bone crushing death metal then this is your group right here. Filled with your typical chugging guitar riffs and ridiculously fast drum beats, this album begins bludgeoning your senses from beginning til end. While many people easily tire of death metal due to lack of changing tempos and repetition, I am always on the prowl for new blood soaked talent. And upon listening to this CD I have found a new band that I like.

Similar in style to Poland's Vader and Decapitated, Deivos shows that there are good things still lurking on the death metal horizon. The vocals on the album are very guttural and just grab a hold of you from the get go. Songs such as "Encircled by Nothingness" and "Scarcity of Suffering" are just blistering death metal songs that are sure to kick your ass. I have been listening to this CD for a few months now and as I keep listening to it, it just keeps growing on me more and more. So, if you want some good death metal, get in touch with Butchery Music and try and get a hold of this one.
