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.

French Melo-death with some surprises
"Memento Mori" is the first listen I've had to French metal outfit Aephanemer. "MM" is a pretty decent album, though the melodic death tag befuddles me a tad. The vocals are clearly death style but the music is an amalgam of power, symphonic and hints of death. Solid music, decent vocals and respectable songwriting. The instrumental version of the album seems a bit unnecessary but is nice for hearing the music on its own.
