Most Hurtful Record Review Ever
Merkava:
I would love to start a magazine like that. That would rock so hard.
Kai:
Demons and Wizards totally deserves it. Seriously, way to steal your album title from King Crimson, assholes.
KharBevNor:
--- Quote ---The name King Crimson was coined by Peter Sinfield as a synonym for Beelzebub, prince of demons; according to Fripp, Beelzebub is an anglicised form of the Arabic phrase "B'il Sabab", meaning "the man with an aim"

So they could have called it 'Touched by Satan', but instead they made it a cool tribute to a band I'm sure they love, given their taste in covers and apparent influences.
Plus the self-titled owns your fucking soul.
Anyway, criticising metal bands based on the principle of 'hurr hurr silly name' is a) about as original as a Darkness single b) biased, all metal bands have silly names. If you don't like or at least understand the cliches you shouldn't be touching the metal section. It's like having some dude who craps himself whenever he hears brass instruments reviewing all the ska records. c) says nothing about the actual music. Did the guy even listen to the CD? Did he recieve it? It isn't even a novelty review. It's like having yelling birds retarded cousin reviewing your records.
Similiar points to all those reviews of other genres that use similiar tactics. I wouldn't buy a rag filled with shit like that, to be frank.

well, the guy/girl who was clowning on those metal bands also gave stellar reviews to As I Lay Dying, Soilent Green, Cipher, Mistress, etc., which leads me to believe that he/she is the magazine's resident metal/metalcore/grindcore/whatever reviewer, a style of music that I will admit I don't know much about. I just thought the reviews were funny.
Kai:
See, those are all those new fangled American grindcore bands that Fuse has been hawking off. Seriously, AILD and all their cronies suck ass.
