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.

Popular Reviews
Italy's Bloodevil deliver a punishing blend of metalcore and thrash with their sophomore album. With a battery of traditional thrash riffing, heavy breakdowns and a mix of clean/death vocals, Infection is a galloping and grooving metallic jaunt from start to finish. The only detractor to the album is that the song intros tend to be a touch lengthy on the instrumental lead in more than I'd like. Sometimes it's a minute or more before the vocals kick in. This is still a damn good offering and another example of how the thrash is melding other genres together to create a familiar yet newer style that makes you want to pump your fist in defiance.
