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.

This Italian act have been up and down the circuit for a few years. "W:A:R" is number three for the band and serves up a bundle of restless and wild urgency. Vocals are high pitched and steeped in 80s tradition (Vicious Rumors/Helstar) and musically a powerhouse of loud and proud metal for the sake of being metal. I could name drop a hundred 80s acts that this would compare too...but let's group it to early Banshee, Recon or Fifth Angel just for the super clean vocals and precise notes.
