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.

All-female traditional power metal out of Switzerland
Burning Witches are an all-female band that formed in 2015 in Switzerland. This debut record was released last month via Pledge Music. Musically and lyrically it is a German Teutonic romp through power and traditional metal soundscapes. It's co-produced by Marcel Schirmer (Destruction) and should please both the denim and leathers as well as modern enthusiasts.
Recommended for fans of: White Skull, Mystic Prophecy, Warlock
