"COMPLETE FAILURE manage to combine the most sonically violent aspects of hardcore, crust and grind while retaining an old school feel in the vein of such bands as ASSUCK and TERRORIZER. If this is the way the band sounds on their debut, the thought of their future output is a scary thing."

"Combining violent grind tempos and schizo screams set on faded distortion, Perversions of Guilt is a blatantly scrubbed and downtuned album that wants you to focus on their destructo speed rhythms and hardcore melody lines, along with Joe Mack's incomprehensible yaps that serve as the band's high-pitched engine yowl balking at life's insincerities and insecurities. In other words, Perversions of Guilt is one pissed-off album and its assumedly deliberate low-end production serves to exacerbate its combusting hatred on songs like 'Gross Negligence,' 'Bipolar Fatigue Hallucination' and 'Described as the Regret to Inform.'"

"Battering their way into the middle of the fight without need of an intro, Complete Failure set the stakes high on the blitzkrieg blast of "Bipolar Fatigue Hallucination". First they split your skull with a hyper torrent of precision grind but things quickly delve into crusty punk goodness for a quick moment. They effectively mesh the two genres together with changes that spring up with little or no notice whatsoever. Then just when you think speed is their only calling card they hit a doom-y break that calls on the apocalyptic smother of His Hero is Gone."

"Individual songs aren't immediately catchy, but repeated listens reveal melodic anthems buried in dissonance and grit. Sub-two minute tracks such as "Ode to My Lies and Manipulation" and "Gross Negligence" are Complete Failure's bread and butter, clearly displaying their knack for mixing furious blasts with thick hardcore riffing, but it is the band's ability to dive into slower, discordant explorations that give Perversions of Guilt a multi-dimensional feel and plays a crucial part in distinguishing individual tracks."
