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.

Over the top shenanigans
Brazil's Abrasion have released their debut on a label that sounds like an erectile steroid. The group have pounded pavement since '93 and released a demo five years later. This brand of testosterone fueled power metal follows the blueprints for Manowar's metal for metal's sake aptitude. It's over the top shenanigans are orchestrated in the style of Majesty, Powergod and other mead-soaked ilk. It's all redundant, uninspired and never fails to achieve anything remotely inventive or even interesting.
