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.

This is the fifth album for Finland's Burning Point and first for their new label Scarlet. The band continues the onward trek of Teutonic power metal yet much less prissy this time around. The double bass is downright brutal and the choppy riffs are steeped in thunderous grooves ala Paragon and Mystic Prophecy. The cover art was done by Felipe Franco ( Iron Savior, Rhapsody Of Fire). For fans of Dream Evil, Mystic Prophecy and Iron Savior.
