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.

8/31/2017 - Review by: Eric Compton
Sure to please the melodic extremists
The extremely visual album cover from Mark Cooper (Master, Rings of Saturn) adorns this German death metal act's newest record. 'Ascension Gate' continues the maturity and progress made by 2016's 'Worship the Grave'. The riffs are finely tuned, saturated with plenty of melody that envelopes the harsher death tones. It's reminiscent of great Swedish metal like Amon Amarth and other 90s acts that originated in Gothenburg. 'Ascension Gate' sees Dawn of Disease at the height of their craftsmanship, a death metal offering that is sure to please the melodic extremists.
Recommended for fans of: Amon Amarth, Vinterblot and Vanir
