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
Combines elements of Power Metal and Extreme Metal. It's less Dungeons & Dragons, lyrically speaking, with an emphasis on human emotions and partying hard. Vocalist Marcus Nygren delivers on solid melodies which lean more to the Power genre. But backed by brutal riffs, double kicks and furious screams from guitarist Alexander Timander. It gives the album an extreme feeling especially on the closing track 'Name of Time' which contains a mighty growl courtesy of Simon Berglund of Zonaria fame.
