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.

Ex-Exodus singer Steve Souza spent a lot of years in the Bay Area thrash scene. His new band Hatriot retains much of that experience and know how, laying down ten fast attacks in true Exodus fashion. In fact this debut from the Oakland act sounds very similar to previous albums. Souza's drunken "Blitz" is maniacal and over the top while the music rages with tons of fast riffs and a barrage of double bass. The interesting thing is Souza's sons are on board playing drums and guitar.
