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.

Popular Reviews
Readers have heard me repeatedly praise Canada and Sweden and their remarkable true metal display. The maple leaf has brought us tons and tons of great metal the last 24 months, with fantastic output from Skull Fist, Cauldron, Savage Blade just to name a few. Now Sweden offers up Steelwing and their debut album "Lord Of The Wasteland". This is a great album stacked full of furious twin guitar, a penchant for NWOBHM strokes and Dickinson styled vocals. This is certainly not very innovative or unique but still very pleasing and entertaining even for the diehards. Highly recommended for the classic metalheads!
