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.

Comeback album for these German power metal vets
German power metal act Voice was a real highlight of the 90s for me. Often compared to Stratovarius or Edguy, I always thought the band had a great look and sound. Sadly, Voice took off about 14 years between albums but get right back to business with new record 'The Storm'. This has a lot of different textures but keeps both feet firmly in the Teutonic heavy metal sound. Melody, superb vocals, quality writing and Mirko Hofmann's (UFO, Eloy) excellent co-production makes this the perfect storm. Voice are riding a career high.
Recommended for fans of: Edguy, Stratovarius, Dream Evil
