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.

3/1/2018 - Review by: Greg Watson
DM with a decidedly old school feel, hitting the nostalgia sweet spot
If you like your death metal with a little age on it, like a finely cured piece of meat, then Guillotine is serving up choice cuts for you with their self titled release. I could write an entire paragraph on the riffs off this album alone but suffice it to say, this album resides in riff city. Some very evil death vocals and serious guitar solos add some spice to this metal stew. The production has that vintage feel to it and hits those nostalgia sweet spots very nicely. I really enjoyed this one and definitely recommend fans of death metal old and new to go out and add this one to their collection.
Recommended for fans of: Entombed, Deicide, Old School Death Metal
