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.

Isn't inventive, yet still pleasing
Scolding mosh and groove is the formula for this French act. The debut, 'Recipe for the Sick', arrives five years from the band's conception. By 2008 this sort of antediluvian hardcore is somewhat removed, morphing into more metalcore with the obligatory melodic injections. Uncompromising in delivery, the band's use of down-tuned riffs, screaming vocals and death pace comprises a forceful sound that isn't inventive, yet still pleasing due to the overdose of energy.
