RATED BY THE COMMUNITY

Top-rated death metal bands

Find your next favourite through the community’s ratings.

How these rankings work

Weighted scores balance an item’s average with the community average and its number of ratings. Album and track scores are calculated separately. Their weighting uses at least 10 prior ratings, or the average number of ratings per rated item if that is higher. Artist charts keep the existing artist weighting. Unrated items do not enter the charts.

Formula: (votes × average + weight × community average) / (votes + weight). Choose “Average rating” for the unweighted score, or increase the minimum ratings to focus on established results.

Only registered members can submit ratings. Each account and IP address may rate an item once.
