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.

Possessing the ability of staying power and purpose, La-Ventura may be the next big thing in the goth genre. You can hear the influences of bands like Nightwish and Lacuna Coil but mostly just as a surface reflection. Finding the perfect blend of heavy and beautiful, White Crow, shows the band hitting their stride at a dead run. Songs like Time and Time Again and Falling Down inject plenty of heavy riffs and speedy guitars that perfectly offset the angelic, melodious voice of Carla van Huizen. For anyone that is a fan of Euro goth tinged metal you must check this band out. Support the music you love and the artists who bring it to us.
