metalreviewshub.xyz is a mere attempt of a website that aggregates metal albums reviews.
metalreviewshub.xyz does not review metal albums releases. All the reviews presented on this website are retrieved from their respective publishers. We do not alter, change or express an opinion regarding the reviews.

metalreviewshub.xyz gets ratings for a specific metal album release from the publisher websites we follow and converts each available rating to a 0 to 5 scale.
The raw mean rating is the simple average of those source ratings. The rating label shown on album cards is based on a confidence-adjusted weighted rating, so a very high score from only one or two sources is not treated the same as a similar score confirmed by many sources.

We convert every available source rating for a release to a 0 to 5 scale, then calculate the raw mean rating as:
raw mean = (Source 1 rating + Source 2 rating + ... + Source n rating) / n
We also calculate a weighted rating by multiplying the raw mean by a source-count confidence factor. The confidence factor starts at 0.75 for very low source counts and grows up to 1.00 when a release reaches 8 or more review sources.
confidence factor = 0.75 + 0.25 x min(1, number of rating sources / 8)
weighted rating = raw mean x confidence factor
Album card labels such as Great, Excellent, or Iconic are based on this weighted rating, while the raw mean and number of sources remain visible for transparency.

metalreviewshub.xyz is not categorising bands according to our understanding of what that specific band is playing.
All the genres tags you see on metalreviewshub.xyz and the bands they are attributed to are set according to metal-archives.com. The only reason we're using metal-archives.com for this purpose is because, in our view, it seems to be the most comprehensive metal music database so far.
This is why, for almost every band you see on metalreviewshub.xyz we're providing a link to metal-archives.com where you can check all the info available regarding that specific band. If a link to metal-archives.com is not provided it means that we did not find that band listed on that website.
