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.

Relish in the nostalgia of true as steel youthful metal
Motorcity's Wulfhook digs into traditional metal's frozen tundra for inspiration on debut record 'The Impaler'. Have we heard it before? Absolutely, even just last week. Yet the band still capture that mid 80s US Shrapnel scene perfectly with vocals that reach James Rivera (Helstar) heights. Galloping riffs, soaring melodies and ferocious hooks force you to at least relish in the nostalgia of true as steel youthful metal.
