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.

"Goatspell" is the debut recording from this young thrash band. The six song EP proves these Italians have played their fair share of historic thrash albums. Vocally it is reminiscent of Death Angel circa "Frolic In The Park". The start and stop tempo sounds late '80s with the mandatory fast chops and double bass. It has plenty of fuel for the fire and enough energy to keep it well fed. This is a good start.
