Press Reviews "Thundering, progressive, harsh, massive, heavy, oppressive, distorted... there is no description I can give to provide you with an accurate account of Ronin King; it's sound is so unique and intense that you have to hear it to understand." - Vile Toothbrush #4 "A year's tuition at Ryerson says you've never heard anything like it - a bass and a Dr. Rhythm 660 drum machine creating ball crushing black metal that Jones describes as 'bass-heavy post-punk minimalism with electronic touches.'" - The Eyeopener
