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.

A slab of tried and true death metal pie
Massachusetts extreme metallers Abnormality provide us with "Mechanisms of Omniscience", a slab of tried and true death metal pie. There isn't much here that really surprises or breaks from the mold. It's pretty good throughout; it just tends to get a little repetitive with the massive riffs, raw vocals and flashy guitars over and over. They are, however, heavy enough to tear the skin off your face and leave your nerves exposed to the raw power that they possess. Though lacking in variety, if you are a fan of good, heavy DM, this one is just what the doctor ordered.
