Press Reviews "This band I totally dug. Super killer crunch and heavy melodic metal a'la Crowbar/Prong rhythmic thing. They grab the listener's attention by using super heavy riffing and yet keep catchy rhythms. Hardcore vocals semi-hatebreedish. This band switches from quiet to super heavy riffs easily and smoothly. This was also their first performance. Look out for these guys!" - Emmett (www.lafayettemusic.net). "I'm fu**in' hooked! Killer, guys!" - Garr, fwm.com
