Review Summary: "This bad boy kills the elderly right in their tracks."

Screaming from the pit of Mordor ”Impending Doom” emerges from the shadows with entropic, and chaotic melodies shoving a wall of melodic anarchy down your throat with “Nailed.Dead.Risen” their first offering to the Metal gods. This bad boy kills the elderly right in their tracks with jaw dropping promotion to hellish, brutal screaming guitars while at the same time sane and contemplative subject matter. Instead of setting themselves into a comfort zone, they push harder and harder with each track. This dark collection of melodies completely maraud your reality of what music really is, and how big the spectrum can be stretched. They do a great job at leaving the listener with no escape from impact, kind of like scratching fingernails under your bed. Terrifying and sadistic yet a smoldering hope as the album comes to a sudden close, catching your attention much like a hungry wolf howling against the silence. The anticipation grows and climaxes to a point of absolute aural terror.To be honest reviewing the songs separately would be useless and somewhat redundant. Sure, all the songs have their own characteristics, and dynamics but the vibe of the album as a whole is something the listener needs to experience. Escape is futile.

Are you asking for critiques? Or just getting indignant?

Both. I'm totally open to constructive criticism, but if people want to be mean it will just cause me to write more. So if anyone has any intelligent tips I'm open to it. I haven't been writing for very long and I know I have improving to do. So shoot away.

For one, you make insane descriptions of said music, but don't back them up. The "review" is a single paragraph. It needs to be at least three times longer (unless of course you can adequately describe it in a shorter review).



Sure, all the songs have their own characteristics, and dynamics but the vibe of the album as a whole is something the listener needs to experience.




Pointless comma. It should be after "and dynamics,".



Screaming from the pit of Mordor ”Impending Doom” emerges from the shadows with entropic, and chaotic melodies shoving a wall of melodic anarchy down your throat with “Nailed.Dead.Risen” their first offering to the Metal gods.




If you going to make such bold claims, you need to back them up with examples. Read some staff and contributor reviews and learn from their style. See how they approach the music and how they review it.

Thanks. I do appreciate the tips. To be honest I was kind of lazy on this one. Not my best by any means. Please read my other reviews.

The first review was fairly decent. The rating didn't really follow the review though.



The second was like a slightly longer version of this review.

Who thought this was written well?

I mean,

"Screaming from the pit of Mordor"

whaaaat... this is like my sky eats airplane review, it doesn't say anything about the music. Try by giving each instrument a paragraph. We're not writing for outburn here where the review is in and out in like 6-7 sentences. This site is all about that journalistic integrity, as if its writing an article on the album. You mean well, and you probably write the lyrics for your band or personal poems in your journal, but sputnikmusic is fo' real dawg. Keep working on it and don't act like a 5 year old when people post neg's here... everyone's gotten brutal criticism. Look at the comments on some of my lists!

"Please add more negative comments.. This will only make me write more reviews just like this one"

^^^Because with that attitude, you'll essentially get banned. Unless that is, you're actually 5 years old.

Good luck!

instead of using fancy descriptions, talk about the music itself. talk about each instrument in a dif paragraph, etc

Don't do instrumentsd in different paragraphs... it's so boring and it oftentimes doesn't talk about the album as a whole. Do a musical analysis rather than a bunch of irrelevant verbiage.
