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.

Heavy-handed riffs, a sense of urgency and melodic hard rock
Fifth album for these 30-year Nottingham veterans. Wraith break a 10-year silence with a triumphant return to form on 'Revelation'. Big blocks of solid grooves and spot-on vocals erupt with stirring opener "Lifeline". Heavy-handed riffs, a sense of urgency and a metallic approach to melodic hard rock makes Wraith nearly mandatory. Album highlight "Invasion" is my jam, dressed to perfection with an emphasis on the big chorus. It's harmonized vocals and over the aural riffage matches the album's explosive artwork. Fitting.
Recommended for fans of: Vain, early Dokken, Vandenburg
