Morthox's profile

I do reviews for fun, and also to hone my English writing skills. I'm not very consistent with this, but I hope to review more material in the future. I mostly stick to unreviewed material, be it bands that I like, bands that I loathe, or bands from my country.

I don’t have a definite system for rating albums; I prefer to speak in detail about the aspects of the album than to scale them. The rating is more than a symbol to me. That said, not every album I like will have a 100% and not every album I dislike will have a 0%.

Although I tend to listen black & death metal more than anything else, I also like thrash metal, heavy metal, doom metal, goregrind & grindcore.
