“One of 2010’s best records, seriously: fuck a bandwagon, Christian Mistress feel like a one-band revival machine.” – Terrorizer
“Specializing in the filthier, more raucous side of the NWOBHM… Christian Mistress’s real strength lies in singer Christine Davis, whose raspy, dusky voice adds a unique presence…” – Decibel
“…cross NWOBHM class with a tough American style of metal imbued with pissed up and steroid-pumped hard rock, the likes of which you might have found on an early ‘Metal Massacre’ compilation.” – Blabbermouth
“They play heavy metal the old way, the exact way we enjoy it ourselves.” – Fenriz of Darkthrone (from Stereogum interview)
“The organic production and classicist songwriting make Agony and Opium a genuinely timeless album; it could have been made at any time between 1980 and 2010…” – All Music Guide
