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. The best way to determine how much you may like certain music is to listen to it yourself.

Popular Reviews
Finnish death thrash outfit AOV offer up an interesting hybrid of death metal and thrash on their self-title. While the album has a predominant death metal vibe to it, the band incorporate thrash styled instrumentation throughout. The death vocals come over top of galloping, groove focused riffs that provide an addictive cocktail of various ingredients. Production is pretty solid with a few spots sounding a touch muddy. Overall though, this album is definitely worth a spin, highlights being "Crack of Dawn", "S.O.B." and "Unprecedented Evil"
