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
Salt Lake City, Utah isn't typically known for its grandiose traditional metal, yet Visigoth are making a valid attempt to convince the world that frosty mead soaked Viking hymns aren't exactly a far-fetched concept for the Beehive State. 'The Revenant King' is the full-length debut from the five year veterans and comes by way of prominent label Metal Blade. Think 80s Heavy Load meets Grand Magus with a singer that utilizes a lower clean vocal delivery. While not the most original thing in the world, you could do worse in your pursuit of Swedish styled traditionalism.
