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.

Black metal that goes through the motions
'Magick Halls of Ascension' is an album of black metal that really just goes through the motions. You get your typical old school black metal feel with slightly improved production and the vocals you have come to expect. It isn't a terrible album by any means but it's bm that I've already heard before. The final two tracks on the album provide some variety but there just wasn't enough throughout to really make this one stand out.
