5 Excellent - Masterpiece. A classic.

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.

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.

'Born in a Lazarus Pit' is the group's sophomore effort and follow-up to the 2008 debut 'Follow the Blood Trail'. Punishing groovy slabs permeate a deafening sound that should please global extremists. Vocalist Victor Hernandez mostly uses a David Vincent (Morbid Angel) snarl but incorporates a mid-range bite during hurried timing changes. The strings are a multifaceted variety with solos and jazzy change ups to make it angular and evolving. It is fitting the band used lyrics from Black Dahlia Murder as inspiration for the band name. They certainly embody that band's energy and determination to make 'Born in a Lazarus Pit' worthwhile.
