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.

Mystical Black Metal that pours on the dark atmosphere
Esoctrilhum is a one man black metal project that plays "mystical" black metal, whatever the hell that is. To me, "Mystic Echo From A Funeral Dimension" is black metal with a little bit of post BM thrown in for good measure. Tortured, cold and depressive, you can definitely feel the despair as it oozes through your headphones or speakers. The tracks are around 9 minutes each in length and are solid but tend to get a little repetitive after a bit. Decent black metal abounds throughout but a little change of pace would help on this album to make it feel a little less repetitive.
