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.

Ice Nine Kills have released there third album to date in "The Predator Becomes The Prey". The Boston youngsters have toured with the likes of Chelsea Grin, We Came As Romans and Terror and are on the Outerloop label owned by Fearless Records. This is above average metalcore with the start and stop mechanics and screaming verses. The chorus pieces are the heart and soul of the band and remind me of Escape The Fate. I hope they follow the Blessed By A Broken Heart path and just go completely clean.
