Can you believe that THE SLUDGELORD’S 666 Pack Review has been around for a year already??? Holy shit that went by fast! On our initial 666 Pack Review, we were a little timid and a little shy…well not so much now eh? We’ve been propping up bands that deserve your attention and having fun with some that need to put in more hours at band practice. So, if you’re new to this, each and every month we handpick 6 review submissions and critique them by only using 6 words, then we rate them on a scale from 1 to 666!
Check
out our awesome rating scale below from the initial 666 Pack Review from October 2016:
1
– WTF are you doing??? Go get your money
back from Guitar Center!
2
– You might be tone deaf. Or perhaps
your friends are lying to you? Keep
working at it.
3
– There’s some potential...start listening to and watching Manowar
to see how the metals is done.
4 – Not too shabby! Upgrade your amps from Crate to Orange now!!!
5
– I was tapping my foot and/or bobbing my head.
You’re definitely worthy enough to pack dive bars.
666
– THE SLUDGELORD brands you with his pentagram of
approval!!! Hails!!!
The
666
Pack Review is meant to offer humorous criticism and is not meant to hurt
feelings, however, there are no safe spaces here. THE SLUDGELORD is a
picky listener…and doesn’t care what you think of his opinions….
1). Spacelord - “Spacelord” (Buffalo, USA) Rating: 4
Modern retro. Does that make
sense?
2).
Barren Plains - “Adrift” (Pittsburgh, USA) Rating: 5
Adrift with Pelican influence.
Not shabby.
3). Wardehns - “Wardehns” (Wausau, USA) Rating: 2
4).
Dogzilla - “Astral
Worship” (Tarnow, Poland) Rating: 2
Please stick to black metal Poland.
5). Ground - “I” (Barcelona, Spain) Rating: 4
Not “groundbreaking” but has groovy beats.
6).
Angus Black - “Angus
Black” (Helsinki, Finland) Rating: 3
Uncle Acid much? But still
solid.
Bonus 1st year anniversary review!
