Press Reviews Brutalized Fanzine (USA)5 songs of fast paced thrashcore is what this offers. Manuel's vocals are very coarse and abrasive, almost going into death metal territory. This is heavy as shit and really bombards you with aggression. Each song pretty much has its own identity. Some songs have a distinct hardcore backbone to them while others are more outright thrashing.Amputation Magazine (Sweden)When I first played ‚s.u.n.k.' it totally got into me. The music is so powerful and full of energy and the singer has one of the best vocals I've heard from a German band. Their thrash metal, with a touch of hardcore, could be campared to old MACHINE HEAD but that wouldn't be fair either, because the style that SAREPTA have developed is quite unique.Paranoyhard Zine (France)Speed and energic Thrashcore of a high quality. With this CD you'll find all the good and indispensable ingredients for an album. Nothing is forgotten. Intensity, brutality and aggression. A PANTERA influence is heard and if you look deeper in the vocals, ALTAR and OBSCENITY intonations. VERY GOOD!
