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.

Popular Reviews
Opening track 'Bang Your Head' introduces this fast paced traditional band from Italy. This is the group's debut but its members have been active on the scene since the early 80s. 'Chain Goes On' is meticulous in its heavy metal valor, a blend of Accept, Judas Priest and Motorhead. Singer Daniel Ancillotti is the marriage of Udo and Lemmy, that combination elevating highlights like 'Devil Inside' and 'Legacy of Rock'. The vivid artwork was done by Dimitar Nikolov.
