Reviewers and other friendly web-publications:
The Muse's Muse
"The Pax Cecilia has created an album that reconfigures the possibilities of ambient, art-rock and progressive metal, making it sound beautiful, menacing and refreshingly new as they do it. Blessed are the Bonds is one of the few pieces of art that transcends definition, and transforms nothing more than twelve notes into a musical force that will reveal something different with each listen. For an album that will only cost you an hour, this is nothing short of a masterpiece."
Sputnik Music

Deaf Sparrow Zine
"Blessed Are the Bonds is one of those ambitious records that travels through foreign and uncharted territories, conquering all and in the end coming home triumphant..."
Metal Review
"I’ve simply run out of great things to say about this band and this album, and frankly I’m not sure there are enough words to do it justice."
"I just stood in awe of the majestic metal ambient awesomeness."
