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.

Sleaze anthems
This is the third effort from one of Sweden’s fastest rising hard rock acts. The band chose to record ‘Babylon’s Burning’ with Chris Laney (Zan Clan, Animal) at the famed Polar Studios (Led Zeppelin, Ramones) in Stockholm. Laney’s experience and club rock know-how was probably a valuable asset for these sleaze anthems. The percussion has plenty of room to breathe, loose from the hip with mid-paced hands holding these bluesy riffs together. The group’s lead single, “Liberation”, is tight with the harmonized gang chants and a Guns 'n Roses styled orchestral backing track. Cuts like “Resurrection Love” add a bit of texture to the blues, combining the likes of Red Hot Chili Peppers with Hanoi Rocks.
