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.

Death metal you can gnash your teeth to
Khiral pulls no punches and gives you death metal you can gnash your teeth to and provide yourself with a mild case of whiplash. Some very catchy hooks and really nice guitar work are backed up by some menacing death metal vocals. The production is pretty decent and helps keep the sound tight and gore-soaked. The band throws in some modern guitar work too and that adds a nice little variation from the straight forward death metal. I'll be going back to this one quite frequently in 2018.
