If
you’ve been paying attention, the 666 PACK REVIEW is an abbreviated review
column mostly focused on very new bands or bands that have submitted demo
material to THE SLUDGELORD. The basic premise is that 6 bands are
critiqued using only 6 words and on a scale from 1 to 6(66). What you see
below is the best of the year 2018 for the 666 PACK REVIEW.
There were only 6 bands that received the highest of ratings so
please go give them some love by revisiting their music and their web pages. We at the THE SLUDGELORD hope great things come to
them. Congrats and hails to those bands
that made the list!
