0 Terrible - Waste of your life and time.

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.

This is the first chance I've heard Sweden's Dawn Of Silence. The band has just released their second album to date, a marvelous work entitled "Wicked Saint Or Righteous Sinner". The album is released on GHR Music and also comes by way of Spiritual Beast in Japan. This is a fantastic power metal outing with a hard rock touch. Vocalist Patrik Johansson is a dead ringer for Tobias Sammet and this album sounds somewhere between Edguy's "Rocket Ride" and "Tinnitus Sanctus". The twin guitar gallops are electric and the songs themselves are well put together and very diverse. This should appeal to fans of Edguy, Machine Men and Bruce Dickinson.
