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.

Seamlessly blends old and new styles together
Ok folks, I've been complaining very heavily lately about wishing a death metal band would combine the old and new sounds together but still have their own stamp to it. Well, Winds of Leng has done just that. With 'Horrid Dominion' you get an album that is reminiscent of Obituary and Black Dahlia Murder but still has its own unique sound to it. Heavy, melodic, and dynamic is what you get with the music. Galloping riffs, chugging breakdowns and some fluid solos feature heavily. The one downfall with the album is the production is a little on the low side with the overall sound being a bit murky and not as clear as I would like. But honestly, the music and unique perspective that Winds of Leng brings to the table makes it easy to look past that. If you're looking for that death metal album that will help pull you out of the putrescent pool of stagnation, grab hold of this one for dear life. It'll be a wild and kick ass ride!
