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.

Czech unit Pandemia unleash your prototypical death metal album with "At The Gates of Nihilism". The songs on this album sound like a plethora of death metal bands that have saturated the market these days. You've got your typical chainsaw sounding guitars, blast beats galore, and Cookie Monster vocals--Death Metal 101. The production is great but, it's material that's been done and redone time and time again. In a genre that is so stagnant, even the flies are becoming bored, Pandemia does very little to set themselves apart from the masses. If you're just looking for another death metal album to add to your menagerie, this is it.
