"... a searing blast of black noise:one part old school death metal, one part visionary noise, several parts Satanic hymnal..." (Dave Everley, KERRANG! issue 853, 19 May 2001)
"...jaw droppingly impressive. A dark, brutal and unholy marriage of influences..." (Gregory Whalen, TERRORIZER issue 69, Aug 1999)
