5 Excellent - Masterpiece. A classic.
4.5-4 Great - Almost perfect records but there's probably a lacking.
3.5 Good - Most of the record is good, but there may be some filler.
3 Average - Some good songs, some bad ones at about a half/half ratio.
2.5-2 Fair - Worth a listen, but best obtained by collectors.
1.5-1 Bad - Major problems with music, lyrics, production, etc.
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.

Who’d have thought you could blend death/thrash metal with evil Star Wars themes and actually make it work! Leave it to those crazy Aussie's for yet another killer band to surface that screams evil-80’s-death/thrash!

The Return to Godless times is a great blend of raw old-school thrash and death metal, that is simple enough to be catchy, and technical enough to keep you interested. Darth Saundies screams can be heard well throughout the galaxy. The blast beats are not overdone, catchy riffs that scream old German Thrash worship, solos that resemble the sound of a stray cat being thrown in a blender, and solid explosive rumbles of carnage-or bass playing if you want to call it that. Any fan of old metal that’s not banging their head well on over to the dark side of the force after track 1 needs to check their pulse.

One thing that’s really weird about The Return to Godless Times is there are 8 tracks listed on the back, but there are 15 songs on the album! Oh well, whatever that’s about, it’s a minor complaint on a near-flawless Metal album. Old Metal never sounded so right in the year 2003!

Fans of Destroyer 666, old Sodom/Kreator/Destruction, Slaughter Lord, Celtic Frost, Atomizer, ect., shouldn’t be disappointed with The Return to Godless Times-a total trip back to the 80’s (without riding the extremely homo-erotic "retro" trend), past the Death Star, straight through the gates of Hell, and back in the Millennium Falcon, no less! Sith Happens...indeed! --Agent of Steel 2.24.03
