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.

Sophomore album from Germany's Terrible Old Man with a heavier edge
Germany's Terrible Old Man went all out on their sophomore album 'Fungi From Yuggoth'. Although a traditional style hard rock/heavy metal band at the core, they've incorporated elements from other sub-genre's to broaden the scope of their sound. One example of this is 'The Lamp', as it contains speed metal riffs and blast beats and on 'Zaman's Hall', they show elements of progressive and power metal. The production is outstanding, as it gives the album a heavier edge. The music and vocals are excellent and sound like they were meant to be together. This is a great album from start to finish and a winner for those that love traditional metal.
Recommended for fans of: Dokken, Leatherwolf, 80's hard rock
