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.

Ingested have unleashed their latest dose of brutal death/deathcore with "The Architect of Extinction". Following in the style of Chelsea Grin, "Architect" is chock full of gurgles, pig squeals and insanely fast drumming and riffing. After about three songs though, the formula becomes rather predictable and the songs begin to stagnate somewhat. This being the band's third full length, I had figured they'd change up their sound a little, but the sound retains some of the slam roots that they started out with, interspersed with deathcore elements. While there are some truly heavy breakdowns, the luster tends to fade rather quickly.
