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.

Death metal with a technical flair and a few twists and turns
On 'Submersion', I found myself thinking that this was yet another death metal album that was going to be easy to predict. And for the most part it is very easy to see the direction the songs are going in. But then a track like "Unquenchable" comes on & changes things up a little with clean, crisp guitars that give way to a slow churn and burn. There are a couple tracks on this album that change up the feel of the album & I found myself really enamored with those tracks as it was something a little different. If the band can capitalize on this going forward, I believe it will help set them apart from the hordes of death metal bands out there.
Recommended for fans of: Progressive death metal, technical death metal
