Reviews of Precursors to Extinction - CLICK HERE TO READ ALL OF THEM IN FULL IF ANY OF THE LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK...
NINEHERTZ WEBZINE - by Matthew Dick - January 2008
Click for full review
‘Precursors’ could easily be placed alongside works by genre stalwarts such as Cephalic Carnage, Cryptopsy and Discordance Axis. They are now more than ready to take on the major players.
DIABOLICAL CONQUEST WEBZINE - By Tony Barraclough - January 2008

..a thick, neatly woven, tightly fitting woolly Grindcore body bag, which uses Relapse Records stitching methods to knit the fetching garment.

..a feel of relentless car-crash carnage.
BORN IN BLOOD WEBZINE - By Toby Osbourn - January 2008 - 5/5

Reth are one of the best, if not the best grind band about today and this release will be heralded as a classic in the future
DIE SHELLSUIT DIE ZINE - By Oliver Turner - January 2008 - 7/10

"Precursors..." is a damn fine impressive slab of technical, grinding extremity.
METAL TEAM UK - By Pete Woods - February 2008

This truly illustrates British Underground metal at its most savage.
DERANGED EPIDEMIC - By Rob - February 2008

This CD is an enjoyable slab of chaotic spazzy death grind, the soundtrack to a firework party in a bomb factory.
TERRORIZER MAGAZINE - By James Hoare - March Issue - 7.5/10

(Reth) craft something that wouldn't look out of place on Galy Records' discordant, Attention Deficity death/grind roster.'
TERRORIZER COVERMOUNT CD - By Benj Golanski - March Issue

If Leeds grind loons Reth have, in fact, never had the pleasure of being locked in a burning Victorian asylum, one can only marvel at this note perfect rendition of what such time-travelling tragi-horror would almost certainly sound like.
SPLATTERED ZONE (France) - March 2008 - 5 Stars out of 6

...remind me of SOILENT GREEN / Power Violence Metal with Grind education.
LOAD OF NOISE Printed Zine - By Pete Worth - March 2008
Click for full review
As subtle as a jar of hydrochloric acid flung into a child’s face. Reth are a true UK force to be reckoned with on the worldwide scene.
UNBOUND ZINE - March 2008 - 4 skulls out of 5

...this UK based band is a whirlwind of blasting drums, roaring vocals and intricate riffs ...the songs are actually memorable as well.
MASTERFUL MAGAZINE - March 2008
- 7/10 Click for full review
...frantic tempo changes, explosive sense of dynamics and frankly disturbing vocal lines. Reth have delivered an admirable debut with this album and they are definitely a band to keep an eye upon.
KERRANG MAGAZINE - March 22nd Issue 2008 - 3 K's - By Dan Slessor

Supreme Musical Ugliness from Yorkshire Grinders! There is something truly uncomfortable about the way this adamantly refuses to allow your attention to wander elsewhere.
LEGIONS OF STEEL REVIEW - May 2008 by Luci Herbert
Click here for full review
This is brutally intense and an example of grindcore at it’s best.
ZERO TOLERANCE MAGAZINE - May/June issue - 4/6
Click here for full review
Tight blistering performances, tempo and vocal variation, and a significant amount of inventive touches.
GRINDING THE APPARATUS - May 2008 - 8/10 by Chad Coup Click here for full review
This record is one of the most pleasing grind concoctions in recent history. Reth is a wholly new and confident venture in the grind genre. A defining grind act to watch.
COLLECTIVE ZINE - June 2008 - by Kunal

'Leeds tech-grind superheroes finally unleash their debut album!'
