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
Aggressive post-Black Metal from the UK
Usually when you see a full-length album consisting of just 2 songs, funeral doom metal (or some fusion proggy stuff from the 70's) comes to mind. However, on Mors Secunda - the second album from Terra - those 2 songs are a relentless mix of post-metal and black metal that do not slow down for one second. Each song coming in at 19+ minutes, are a montage of tremolo-picking black metal riffs, blast beats, sparse vokills and a touch of post metal overtones to keep things interesting. This is an excellent album to cap off a year of outstanding metal releases. I look forward to hearing more chaos from the lads from across the pond.
Recommended for fans of: Wolves In The Throne Room, Fen, early-90's Black Metal
