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.

Remastered and reissue of a German thrash staple
German label Massacre Records gets their hands on native thrashers Vendetta for this remastered reissue. 'Brain Damage' was originally released in 1988 via Noise and produced by the esteemed Harris Johns (Helloween). Think of 'Ride the Lightning' guitar tone and energy but amped extensively through Germany's 80's political angst. This is considered a firm staple for European thrash and compares favorably with the likes of Sodom, Tankard, and Destruction.
Recommended for fans of: Sodom, Tankard, and Destruction
