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.

A little more punky than the prior records
Axegressor have moved away from the standard Slayer-esque sound, this time record number four, 'Bannerless', has a bit of a raw, punky vibe to it. It's still fast and aggressive for the mopheaded fan base, but this a different Axegressor than prior records. Opening track "In Safe Space No One Can Hear You Scream" sets the tone with shorter strumming and a less heavier sound. I'm not sure if this was what I was looking for with their new album...but I applaud the modification. It's a take it or leave it attempt.
