Press Reviews “Well, Premonition from Florida definitely seem to have every valve pumping metal from their hearts with a great, great release of mid-80's inspired metal...” - King Fowley in Worm Gear“He Is Rising is a straight between the eyes heavy metal CD. Heavily influenced by the likes of Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath...” - Derek Daniel, Stormbringer Webzine“On He Is Rising, Premonition takes metal from its current preoccupation (the blending of rap and punk) and takes it back 10 to 15 years,...playing theatrical, episodic rock music....” - John Gaskill in JAM magazine"With so many testicle impaired bands cluttering up the S.Fla. music scene, it's a nice change of pace to find a band with balls. PREMONITION proudly wave the sword of heavy metal and don't make any damn apologies about it."- Heavy Metal Tim in DBM"Premonition is one of only a handful of bands nowadays that knows how to write songs that keep me captivated throughout the entirety of the song, and can actually play real solos that aren't just a bunch of high notes strewn together in a random fashion just to claim they have a solo."- Nick Tompkins in Kremlin Kore"What else could I say except that Premonition is surely the most heaviest band in South Florida, no doubt about it !!! You're great and very interesting and I'm sure that Premonition will be among the future Gods of the revival of True Heavy-Metal in Florida and United States!!!"- Eric Bron
