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.

Undulating, cavernous, occasionally rocking yet tinged with melancholy, 'Sweven' is Morbus Chron's coming of age. Once more crusty and stomping, this second LP is loosely classifiable as progressive death metal for its aural density, deeper register, unconventional structures/meters, and heavily verbed vocals akin to early Death (frankly a weak spot). But these young Swedes refuse to be boxed in, jamming 55 minutes with with hiccuping riffs, cagey instrumental passages, clean interludes, sneakily placed solos, and a natural but unpredictable flow that juggles jerky chromaticism with rousing themes. Fans of Dawnbringer will be tantalized.
