Death metal with a few little surprises
COMMENTS: There are slight symphonic elements and the subtle use of keyboards on the album that really caught me off guard in a good way. Mainly a death metal album but these little touches are enough to help this one stand a little further apart from most of the death metal releases rolling through these days. Plenty of riffs for those of us that dig on them. A very welcome change from what I've been hearing in death metal lately.

5 Excellent - Buy it and say a prayer to the metal gods
that you were tuned on to this masterpiece. A classic.
4-4.5 Great - Almost perfect records but there's probably a
clunker or a lacking somewhere to keep it from perfection. You won't feel bad about
dropping some bones on these.
3.5 Good - Most of the record is good, but there may be some
filler. This is the OK range where you'd search for the record on sale or used.
3 Average - Some good songs, some bad ones at about a
half/half ratio. Could show skills but be dull overall. Redeeming qualities for indy bands
are effort and passion. Majors that don't try or suck outright end up here.
2-2.5 Fair - Worth a listen, but best obtained by collectors.
There is much better metal out there.
1-1.5 Bad - Major problems with music, lyrics, production, etc.
0 Terrible or an otherwise 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.
