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.

2/23/2017 - Review by: Greg Watson
Crusty death metal from Cleveland that is promising
Cleveland's Grave Plague has a two song EP that really impressed me with their brand of metal. While they're are classic elements present, the band has injected their own style and a slightly modern approach to the Hebrew that gives it that new feel that the genre really needs. If these two tracks are any indication, I'm gonna be keeping my eyes on this band.
