2.5-2 Fair - Worth a listen, but best obtained by collectors.
1.5-1 Bad - Major problems with music, lyrics, production, etc.
0 Terrible - Waste of your life and time.

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.

Thank the Metal Gods that AFM picked these guys up! Much like 2007's "Killing Peace" their 5th studio album but their 2nd since digging Onslaught up from the ashes, is far more brutal and less like the Power Metal/NWOBHM elements that dotted the classic "The Force". The result is an almost flawless Thrash and bash Metal feast for the senses! Chock full of pounding drums, charging riffs and bone rattling bass that'll keep you head banging for hours. Let the Onslaught begin!
