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. The best way to determine how much you may like certain music is to listen to it yourself.

Strange mixture of sounds
I admittedly listen to some really bizarre metal both for reviewing purposes and in my personal collection. But as far as weird metal is concerned, Selcouth definitely holds the top spot. Jazzy, progressive music is meshed with black metal and world music in this bizarre amalgamation of sound. The vocals are clean and blackened at times and I wasn't really feeling either style, whether used separately or in tandem with one another. I listened to this one several times and just couldn't make heads or tails of it.
