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.

The term 'Melodic Metal' may not sound tough. But assemble a stellar cast that includes Udo, Rob Rock(Impellitteri), Sean Peck(Cage), Steve Grimmett(Grim Reaper), Mike Dimeo(Riot) among others. Set it against a crushing wall of guitars, drums and bass. What do you get? You get a pulsating power metal masterpiece with balls. No lie. It's one of the best in that style I've heard in some time. Now for the bad news: You'll have to wait till June to get your paws on it. But it's worth the wait!
