5 Excellent - Masterpiece. A classic.

3 Average - Some good songs, some bad ones at about a half/half ratio.
2.5-2 Fair - Worth a listen, but best obtained by collectors.

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.

  • Prepare to scream along with the audience



    • Blaze's newest release is a double live CD and also his second live CD to date. Usually I'm not to big on live discs because the overall feel of the live show is missing and quality is mostly bad. "The Night That Will Not Die" started out disproving my overall generalization of live discs from the start. To my surprise I found a tight and coherent work of art with sparkling audio quality. The one flaw I can find is Blaze doesn't really sound like he is working the crowd until the second disc but once his intensity rises and the curse words start flying, it really ramps the intensity of this live disc.

    The 2 CD set includes great songs from Blaze Bayley's first solo band moniker 'Blaze' and most of the songs from his latest effort "The Man Who Would Not Die". If you were a fan of the 'Blaze' material be sure to check out 'Born As A Stranger' and 'Kill And Destroy'. Another added bonus is 'Man On The Edge' from the Iron Maiden debut with Blaze as the frontman.

    Overall this is a gem from a very overlooked and very talented vocalist that displays his abilities to full effect on this recording. One complete listen to this live set makes you feel you were there and completely involved, prepare to scream along with the audience as you are immersed in a sea of metal.
