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.

Solid death metal that channels Vader
Within the first few minutes of Blood of the Wolf's latest release, I immediately felt some kinship with Vader in the sound the band has. But they also make it their own so you don't feel like you're listening to a copycat band. Some serious blastbeats make this album take on a feel of aggression from the get go and there are some really great bits of melody injected throughout to change things up a little. The drums just sound like a constant barrage of mortar fire and are incredibly hard to ignore. Vocals are typical death metal fare. A damn fun musical ride here folks.
