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.

Talented independent traditional metal
British-Columbia act Medevil roar onto the scene with their independent debut 'Conductor of Storms'. Vocalist Liam Collingwood has a Udo feel with plenty of raspy power behind the mic. Musically the band are mid-tempo with tons of melody and solos. I can't help but think of the Northeast US bands like Attacker, Sleepy Hollow and early Overkill with this stuff. Solid debut.
Recommended for fans of: Accept, Sleepy Hollow, early Overkill
