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
Death metal is my go-to genre like a delicious steak dinner. When you add in old school to the description of the band, my interest piques even higher. In addition to a really cool album title and some killer artwork, Feral's sophomore effort, "Where Dead Dreams Dwell" is a solid slab of Swedish death goodness. Predictable, yet pulverizing, the band rips through tracks like "Creatures Among the Coffins", "The Crawler" and "Mass Resurrection". While there's no real separation from genre greats, Feral deliver their own take with a passion and zeal that is both infectious and easily felt in the music. Fans of the genre will eat this one up.
