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.

Power metal pageantry with a doomy feel
27-years and still running! Sweden's Tad Morose just keep pushing the heavy load year after year. 'Chapter X' of course marks record number ten (counting the 'Paradigma' EP). The band have the formula down--sweeping guitars, buzzing heaviness and ultra-clean vocals. While sometimes incorporating a doomy moodiness, it never fails to capture the European pageantry of the power and traditional metal sound. 'Chapter X' notches just below the last few records but still places a remarkable attention to riffs, writing and production. Krunt and the boys...well done!
