5 Excellent - Masterpiece. A classic.

3 Average - Some good songs, some bad ones at about a half/half ratio.
2.5-2 Fair - Worth a listen, but best obtained by collectors.

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.

Blasphemy Rites proper full-length debut album has a sound that embraces Poland's now solidified black/death metal hybrid whilst remaining underground. The concepts are definitely purist, however the modern production has eliminated all traces of echo and static. This allows the songs to maintain the death-like intensity heard on tracks like Genocide and Damned Bastard of Hell. This is a sterling example of an underground metal record, and with 15 tracks of pure satanic fervor, Hideous Lord brings you into the coven.
