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.

Sacred Blood's Alexandros is a conceptual album about the life and exploits of Alexander the Great. The story the album tells is pulled straight out of myths and philospher's notes. Overall, the album is solid, well executed power metal. Very similar to Marauder, Sacred Blood pounds out great power metal tunes chock full of face melting solos and fist pumping riffs. The production is solid and the album is worth listening to if you like epic power metal. Standout tracks are Marching to War and Bold Prince of Macedonia.
