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.

Athlantis is an Italian power metal band feat. vocalist Jack Spider and guitar master Pier Gonella. M.W.N.D. which is an acronym for metal will never die is a solid, power packed metal release. Spider's vocal range is quite impressive and is full of emotion and energy throughout the album. Gonella's fretwork would make Malmsteen and Satriani proud, effortlessly alternating between furious speed and soft melodies. The album is solid all the way through, with the exception of the song "Dry Gin", which is about a dude's love for the liquor. Fans of Helloween, Gamma Ray and Primal Fear will love this band.
