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.

Croatian band Overpower are sturdy contenders in the hierarchy of groove metal. 'Greatness Within' is the band's debut, available through Geenger Records. While not doing anything really innovative or out of the ordinary, the band's tribal concrete sledge is deafening. Think one part Ektomorf crossed with a bare bones early Machine Head. Often I can hear a slight nod to Sepultura with the vituperating lyrical approach and this dry production pushes the tenacious tendencies a little further. This is a good start.
