Fast to mid-tempo melody that embodies the spirit of pure heavy metal
COMMENTS: Gotta love this flashy debut from Finnish act Tyfon's Doom. Released on Gates of Hell Records, 'Emperor's Path' holds the swashbuckler appeal of American traditional metal bands like Omen, Savage Grace, and Cirith Ungol. The vocals are a little low in the mix, and leave room for improvement, but the rhythm and leads provides the perfect backdrop for power and traditional soundscapes. It's charging, fast to mid-tempo and embodies the spirit of pure, refreshing heavy metal.
RECOMMENDED FOR FANS OF: Omen, Savage Grace, Cirith Ungol

5 Excellent - Buy it and say a prayer to the metal gods
that you were tuned on to this masterpiece. A classic.
4-4.5 Great - Almost perfect records but there's probably a
clunker or a lacking somewhere to keep it from perfection. You won't feel bad about
dropping some bones on these.
3.5 Good - Most of the record is good, but there may be some
filler. This is the OK range where you'd search for the record on sale or used.
3 Average - Some good songs, some bad ones at about a
half/half ratio. Could show skills but be dull overall. Redeeming qualities for indy bands
are effort and passion. Majors that don't try or suck outright end up here.
2-2.5 Fair - Worth a listen, but best obtained by collectors.
There is much better metal out there.
1-1.5 Bad - Major problems with music, lyrics, production, etc.
0 Terrible or an otherwise 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.
