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.

English death metallers De Profundis have released a four song EP while searching for their next label. Having garnered quite a following after three quality full length releases, the band shows they are still at the top of their game. Offering up melodic death metal in the vein of Death and Monstrosity, these lads barrel their way through anything or anyone. With a great mix of aggressively heavy riffs and melodic guitar pieces, this EP should definitely get the band a new deal. The cover of Crystal Mountain by Death is incredibly well done and the three original tracks are a solid helping of death metal that leaves us all wanting more.
