Maximum Metal Rating Legend
5 Excellent - Masterpiece. A classic.
4.5-4 Great - Almost perfect records but there's probably a lacking.

3 Average - Some good songs, some bad ones at about a half/half ratio.
2.5-2 Fair - Worth a listen, but best obtained by collectors.
1.5-1 Bad - Major problems with music, lyrics, production, etc.
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.

Denmark's Malrun just may be the answer to American Radio Metal. However, don't expect to hear these guys on our airwaves anytime soon. With their 3rd release, Malrun pull out all the stops with their brand of Alternative Metal ensuring there is enough mayhem for the metal fans, while excelling with made-for-radio vocals and memorable melodies. However, what makes Malrun standout is their lack of whiney vocals (replaced with exceptional vocals by Nicklas Sonne), backed by a very talented band that knows how to keep the music fresh and relevant on every track. I'm glad that after 10 years, these guys are still releasing amazing music.
