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.

Four quality death metal cuts from these Italian bruisers
You know what to expect from this Italian death metal outfit. The band have formed 20-years ago and have three records total. This EP, 'Stillborn', shows off four quality death metal cuts (and an intro) that should please the brutish fanbase. Production is spot on with artwork that at least makes you curious. The band have toured with the likes of Suffocation, Fleshgod Apocalypse and Napalm Death...and they have the sound that can keep up with those giants.
Recommended for fans of: Suffocation, Fleshgod Apocalypse
