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.

Somewhat lackluster but still fun to listen to
The 3 tracks presented on Gloam's 'Death Is The Beginning' EP are a short glimpse of what the band are about. With black metal mixed with elements of doom, the music really gives you that bleak, stark feeling that fans of black metal love and really enjoy. Musically, the songs utilize chords and progressions that are pretty standard in black metal and really aren't anything new. The vocals are raspy and sharp, adding more cold to the overall atmosphere. While there isn't much new in the way of the music, this was still a really fun listen and definitely worth checking out at least once.
