“A treasure of gold and thunder.” – Skull & Bones Magazine
“A Dantesque exploration…its soundscapes are incredible. Heavy layers of Doom punctuate a certain serenity…Impressive!” – François Alaouret, Rock’N Force Webzine
“A lesson in psychedelic storytelling…There’s no filler here—just a lot of dynamics, arrangement, and emotional resonance.” – Stephen Vicino, Music Existence
“A heady, high-voltage ride that cements the band’s reputation as one of LA’s most unrelenting underground rock forces.” – David Willis, The Metalverse
“It’s quite a thing…I’m sure you’ll be fine. It’s not your first time at the dance, and if it is, just understand that you already have the magic in you and you’ll be fine.” – JJ Koczan, The Obelisk
“A hard, heavy, and heavenly sound.” – Dave Franklin, Dancing About Architecture
