REVIEWS (click the links that follow for full text)
"...Breaching the Citadel fucking rocks; none of it ever becomes predictable or stale. Every track on this disc is a breath of fresh air for the melodic death metal fan who has seen the greatness of the mid to late 90’s dissolve into a shit-stew of bad clean vocals, metalcore breakdowns and scattered, uninspired songwriting."
-Deadtide
"...not one minute [of "Breaching the Citadel"] is boring. This is one of the best self released albums I heard. If you’re looking for some good melo death in the vain of Soilwork...mixed with some thrash metal, this is the album for you."
-Digital Steel
"...if solos are what you like, then Breaching The Citadel and all of its amazing, sweep-picked leads are just what the doctor ordered. This is a band in need of a home."
-Pivotal Alliance
"Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllentttttt alert!!!!!! [Ethereal Collapse] is pretty awesome."
-Ultimate Metal
"Chuck [Schuldiner] must be smiling from his grave. ["Breaching the Citadel"] is a very well done, professional CD."
