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.

Manchester, England's Babylon Fire hit the ground running with a strong debut called 'Dark Horizons'. The group has been in the works for about six years and plant their feet on solid studio time to release this album for Rocksector Records. The band are a straight forward metal band with clean singing across groove based riffs that recall Flotsam And Jetsam or maybe Marshall Law. Occasionally I hear some growling vocals in the mix to create a bit of a harsher tone.Singer Mark Dunford is suitable with his aggressive tone and the whole thing is as stiff as a board. My hat is tipped for this strong first outing from the Brits.
