  Maximum Metal Rating Legend
5 Excellent - Masterpiece. A classic.
4.5-4 Great - Almost perfect records but there's probably a lacking.
3.5 Good - Most of the record is good, but there may be some filler.
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.

Lame. That's the nicest possible thing to say about this album.

Mortician's latest effort has nothing new to offer to anyone. Darkest Day of Horror features the typical Mortician sound, with no change whatsoever. The same repetitive drum beat from a drum machine, and the same riffs used album after album. Of course, there are some cool samples from classic horror flicks, but yet again, they use a sample from I Spit On Your Grave, which they use on every album. In other words, this album is the same old shit, straight down to the cheesy cover art.

If you've never heard Mortician, check out some of their previous albums like Chainsaw Dismemberment or Hacked Up for Barbecue. But if you can't find that, then just check out this one. It all sounds the same anyway. And if you have heard Mortician before, stay the hell away from this, because you've
heard it already on any of their other releases. The only redeeming quality of this CD is the photo in the booklet of guitarist Roger Beaujard trying to do his best bad-ass metal pose while sporting a Star Wars sweatshirt. That's some funny shit.

Rating: 2 out of 10 (they get two points for at least not selling out)
