Maximum Rock’n’Roll July 2009 issue: "Four-track EP of burly metallic core from Ohio, colliding intricate Burning Spirits-influenced Japanese-style hardcore with (the admittedly Japanese influenced) TRAGEDY-ish apocalyptic crust. Cut and recorded with a raw edge akin to the AWAKENING or FIGHTING DOGS, where the solos squeal out of a grimy mass of dark distortion, hoarse throaty vocals cough and bark off vocals similar to something you'd find on a '90s Japanese crust release (COLLAPSE SOCIETY? CROCODILE SKINK? HUMPTY DUMPTY? Somewhere in that direction), spewing doom-laden poetic lyrics about war and religion. Solid delivery;crank up another winner from Halo of Flies Records!"
