“…simply one of the best progressive metal albums of the past year.15/16” – Progression Magazine
“The quintet blows through these epics with precision and grace, making a case for this band being one of the subgenre’s future stars.” – Outburn
“…complete with dazzling guitar leads and stabbing synths, the results are extraordinary. To top it all off, Neil Kernon handled the engineering on the album, and as you can imagine, it sounds great. 4/5” – Sea of Tranquility
“With all this talent it is refreshing to hear that they don’t really focus so much on the actual technical wizardry of the musicianship but on the writing of great dark, brooding melodic songs… 8/10” – Hellbound
“You will find that the album is well worth the time. This is no flowery, wankfest prog metal album that bores the piss out of you like most do to me. 4/5” – Metallus Maximus
“…a band that features some superbly talented musicians and I anticipate them being one that will quickly rise to the top of the list in the hearts and minds of Progressive and Power Metal fans around the world. 4.25/5” – Piercing Metal
