5 Excellent - Masterpiece. A classic.

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.

10/13/2017 - Review by: Eric Compton
Quality return to the band's 80s traditional sound
It has been 26-years since San Francisco's Hexx released their last record. Founding guitarist Dan Watson is still leading the charge, accompanied by longtime drummer John Shafer. Aside from that, new members are holding bassist, guitar and vocal roles. The band's vintage 80s sound is preserved for this new offering of US traditional metal. Galloping triplets, Halford-esque vocals and a fat drum mix are obvious highlights. I'm loving the enjoyable basics of 'Slave in Hell' and the Sabbath grind of 'Dark Void of Evil'. Overall, a quality return and one that should position the band for another successful run.
