"Although death metal isn’t really our cup of tea, we know when something sounds good or not. And what we get to hear from this young band from Venlo, the Netherlands is fucking decent. (...)The overall sound of EP sounds great for a band who did everything themselves. Let’s hope this band gets signed soon, cause we’re sure this band will keep pushing itself to a higher level." – Insider-magazine.be
"De songs zijn vooral degelijk en er zit geen misser tussen. Maar ook geen song die je hart echt in vuur en vlam zet. De productie en mix zijn echter in orde en voor een band die nog niet lang bestaat is dit geen slecht debuut." – Metalfan.nl
"It's obvious these guys know how to handle their intruments and they've one intention: play brutal stuff. They succeeded, but there's one major downside to this release. There's almost no memorable riff or catchy hook to it. And as a consequence, all five songs are pretty much the same. However, since the fourpiece is still young, I think they will evolve into something worthwhile. In the mean time they have to focus on writing songs. They've got all the skills, so I don't think there's any problem." – Asice.net
"De stijl die Deathbox hanteert ligt ergens tussen death metal en hardcore in waarbij de vocalen een wat agressiever randje verzorgen. Deze jongelingen weten als geen ander hoe ze hun instrumenten moeten bespelen maar op het vlak van componeren kan er nog wat meer gespiekt worden bij de grotere broeders in het genre.Dit neemt niet weg dat Deathbox een indrukwekkende muur van geluid weet neer te zetten die hopelijk zijn weg weg zal vinden in de undergroundscene." - Lordsofmetal.nl
"The five featured songs are typically stale compositions that do not showcase much creativity. However, there is definitely an energy there that is upheld by the gritty production, which lends a little more aggression to the overall sound. Despite the less than exciting nature of "Rebuilding the Monolith", this band is still young and the potential to improve is certainly there. Perhaps their next release will be the lethal strike they're looking for."- deathmetal.be
