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 666. What you see below is the best of the year
2019 for the “666 Pack Review”. There
were 8 bands that received the highest of ratings so please go show them some
love by revisiting their music and their web pages. We at THE SLUDGELORD hope great things come to them. Congrats and hails to those bands that made
the list! May 2020 be sludgier and
heavier!
