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.

8/19/2018 - Review by: Eric Compton
A marriage of Running Wild and Iron Maiden
Man, the UK is on fire right now, feeling the metal spirit like it was 1977 all over again. Like fellow countrymen Eliminator, Seven Sisters, Neutronspoiler, etc., this band are seasoned warriors with 'Hellhound' their third. It's a marriage of Running Wild and Iron Maiden, rigid bass rhythms buzzing with charging riffs and mid to high vocals. "Attila" is the real trooper, triplets blazin' and with the busy hands on the kit. Monument is a band that deserves all those pointy and sharp angles in their logo.
Recommended for fans of: Seven Sisters, Running Wild, Iron Maiden
