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.

Isn’t quite the brutal force of early Gorgoroth, it’s still a pretty good
I give Gaahl a lot of credit for forging on with his black metal legacy despite a lot of negativity that he’s received over the past 10 years. Although Gaahls Wyrd isn’t quite the brutal force of early Gorgoroth, it’s still a pretty good release. It actually reminds me of late 90’s Mayhem and mid-era Enslaved. Gaahl also expands his vocal repertoire by adding clean vocals. Overall, a solid release.
