Without Face "album of the month" in Metal Hammer

[thorokol]

Hey

Lee, I was wondering, if you had the review of Without Face from Metal Hammer UK, where Astronomicon was chosen as album of the month. Could you scan it in like you did with the Lunaris Kerrang interview?

Thanks a lot man, that was quick!!

I kinda did however assume that a score of 8/10 would somehow not be enough for an "album of the month" status... Can one make the assumption that it might be because MH mainly focuses on more mainstreem metal (nu metal, etc.) and giving a relatively unknown non-major label band like WF a better score would be somehow unwise? A novice music fan might ask himself "If this band is so good, how come they're not on one of the really big music labels, like Korn/Tool/Nickelback/Linkin Park/Limp Bizkit/System of a Down/etc bands?"

... or am I just being a bit too paranoid here?? hehe

MH UK tends to be quite harsh with it's scores in general I think. Lunaris, for instance, got a pretty good write up, yet the album was scored only "6".

I'm not sure how they work it. I'm guessing a "9" would be a world class album, and I've never seen a "10" to my knowledge.

Talking of Without Face and Metal Hammer, there should be a two page feature in the next issue. I'm not sure when it's out though.

... and can we trust you'll make a little scan of it for us?? (I know it's probably not legal ... so I can understand if you'd be reluctant to do it).
