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.

Grind/Death supergroup delivers what you'd expect
Lock Up is a super group featuring members of Napalm Death, Brutal Truth and Cradle of Filth. "Demonization" offers you just what you'd expect from a group with this talent: no holds barred extreme metal at its finest. The music is angry, aggressive, hook-laden and very heavy. I personally am not a big fan of Brutal Truth so the vocals don't do much for me. Plus, filling the large shoes of Tomas Lindberg is no easy task. But if you like your metal groovy, heavy, and extreme then you'll want to get the latest from Lock Up. It won't disappoint.
