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
Death metal veterans Massacre return with a full album, 18 years in the making. And these bruisers haven't lost a step. "Back From Beyond", the aptly titled new album, is sure to please old fans of the band as well as death metal fans alike. Delivering a blistering barrage of venom and aggression, "Back From Beyond" pummels you from start to finish. "As We Wait To Die", "False Revelation" and "Remnants of Hatred" along with the 11 other tracks are old school, death metal at their best. The band is back to prove they can still deliver quality death metal, regardless of the lapse in releases. "Back From Beyond" indeed.
