5 Excellent - Masterpiece. A classic.
4.5-4 Great - Almost perfect records but there's probably a lacking.

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.
1.5-1 Bad - Major problems with music, lyrics, production, etc.
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.

Classic metal that should appeal to fans of strong vocals and melodic delivery
This NY band formed in '89 and put out a fantastic album called 'Cycles' in 1994. They followed by dropping Wicked from their name and released the equally good 'No Hope for Humanity' in 1996 before dropping a turd, 'Counterculture', in 1997 and disbanding. 'Lifetime in Hell' has been rumored for a long time and finally comes to fruition via Massacre. The record contains some older songs that were recorded in 1991 (at Morrissound) and a few new songs that have been (re?) recorded. Nevertheless this is classic metal that should appeal to fans of Savatage and Circle II Circle with its strong vocals and melodic delivery. This is a real gem.
