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.

Brazil is just blazing hot right now, always deep in metal lore and tradition with seasoned acts like Sepultura, Ektomorf and Angra deep in the trench. Newcomers like Hibria, Shaman and now Aclla keep it burning in the night sky. This debut is well built, solid background being the larger than life double bass and drum sounds. Vocalist is dead-on Joacim Cans (Hammerfall) and the music shakes and bakes in a range from Savage Messiah to Edguy, all dressed for success with that Brazilian thought process of 'show'em what ya got'. Great new act with a promising future
