5 Excellent - Masterpiece. A classic.
4.5-4 Great - Almost perfect records but there's probably a lacking.

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.
1.5-1 Bad - Major problems with music, lyrics, production, etc.
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.

9/15/2003 - Review by: Josh Greer
Early thrash with a angry dose of groove-induced hardcore
"HEAVY!" That was my first impression after first spinning "Tomorrow Never Comes".

It was only after repeated listens that I came to fully appreciate this demo. Coming in at only a little under 10 minutes, Agony Divine show no remorse delivering kick-ass, catchy, to-the-point dark Heavy Metal. If you're looking for a worthy death/thrash band, then look no further than Agony Divine who reminds me of an amalgam of Exodus/Possessed/Dark Angel/early Sepultura kicked in the face with an angry dose of groove-induced hardcore.

Screaming vocals accompanying lower death grunts, solid bass playing filling when necessary, catchy guitar rhythms and riffs and loaded with plenty of cymbal crashes to fulfill the listener until the full-length Agony Divine release. My only "complaint" would be that there are little to no guitar solos, but when I sit back and think about it, there really is no need.

From the accelerated fury of "Expansion", to the eerie intro to "Manipulation" into the bone crunching chorus, closing out with the more straight-forward "No Forgiveness", Agony Divine is Heavy Metal played none other than the reason for the love of the genre. "Tomorrow Never Dies" shows much promise from this "new" band of North Carolinians.
