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.

Spanish thrash metal with a strong emphasis on improved vocals
These Spanish thrashers just continue to display all of the talent, admiration and motivation to thrive in the thrash metal scene. The signing with Century Media a record ago has really elevated the band, possibly pairing with both Hatchet and Havok in terms of the new "kings". This record showcases a strong effort to improve the vocals, approaching more hard rock accessibility and a soulful melody at times. Musically, it is just as fast and ferocious as ever. Production, delivery, marketing, label--the band are in a really good position right now.
Recommended for fans of: Death Angel, Havok, Hatchet
