0 Terrible - Waste of your life and time.

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.

Fourth album to date and produced by Tommy Hansen at Jailhouse Studio. "Heathen Warrior" is polished up tight but utilizing the same structure and ideals as its German predecessors. This act has identified with the Teutonic movement through Kai Hansen styled vocals to the "Walls Of Jericho" speed mosh. However, if you are Stormwarrior then how can you simultaneously be a heathen warrior? Another paradox...if there is one Gamma Ray already how can there be two on one stage?
