Sounds Like: "The aural equivalent of a giant swinging a tree-trunk at you like a baseball bat."
-ANTIMusic
"Dead Man's Root has to be my favorite unsigned band ever---hands down. An album that should very well be purchased and listened to by all who are true metal fans."
-Thrashpit
"Epic post-sabbath doom and gloom."
-Manchester Music
"Mouth Breather is a primal helping of caveman sludge played at a breakneck, ferocious pace. An excellent debut from a band easily poised for greater things. Dead Man's Root have only just begun with this one folks, so get on the bandwagon now before it leaves the station."
-Hensch's Hometown Heroes
"The band has cooked up a damn good debut that shows a bright future on the horizon. A nice listen for doom fans that are savvy to the more metal influenced bands in the scene and don’t mind a pinch of noise-rock either.
-Hellride Music
"Sailor Song is a masterpiece of emotional heavy slow music."
-Daredevil Records
"Peculiar but original and imaginative at the same time.
DEAD MAN’S ROOT is definitely destined for a great career. Embrace this album and give a chance to this great new band. You will not be disappointed."
-Metal Invader
"Intelligent metal assault."
-Neon Promotions
"'Mouth Breather' is the lumbering, rampaging sound of hungover gorillas released in a supermarket...Heavy enough to be in danger from commercial whalers."
-Rock Midgets
"As a metal band, Dead Man's Root has the chops, but even better, they don't restrict themselves to simple chugga-chugga riffs"
-StonerRock.com
"Rawks with a capital “Raaaaaaah!"
-Subba Cultcha
"These guys really rocked us...The sound is awesome, the sludge is better than alot of veteran bands. You would be stupid not to check this band out"
-The Sludge Swamp
"Can't sing for shit... Plus points for a good tune but minus points for the title 'indie fags fuck off'"
-Willa C, Tasty-Fanzine
