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.

Black metal with ambience that gets a little repetitive
Ghost Horizon plays a brand of ambient black metal that while having promise, lacks a clear direction in where it's going and what end it is working towards. The first three songs on their EP, "The Erotics of Disgust", tend to become very predictable in their structure and sound. You go from clean, crisp guitar and vocals to humming guitars and snarls in a clearly defined pattern. Album closer "Whispers", which features Tyler Allen on guest vocals, is by far the standout track. It's crushing, aggressive, and different than the other three tracks in every way, shape and form. But it's also a damn good song and a great way to close out the album.
