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. The best way to determine how much you may like certain music is to listen to it yourself.

30-years of solid Boston thrash
Boston act Meliah Rage are still toiling along after 30-years of mid-tier metal stardom. Like other journeymen in Flotsam & Jetsam, Anvil, and Metal Church, it's these thrash acts that still carry the torch for traditional North American metal. 'Idol Hands' is rock solid, weighing in with eight cuts of mid-tempo moshing to please genre fans. Vocalist Paul Souza is still enjoyable with plenty of aggressive bite and Anthony Nichols proves to be one of the most underrated guitarists in metal. I'm filing this as a best of addition for 2018.
Recommended for fans of: Metal Church, Flotsam & Jetsam, Anvil
