Reviews – Act of Attrition (Go to www.freewebs.com/desertcore for full review)

Metaleater.com – 9 out of 10 “AUTUMN'S END are a band that single handedly redefines what we've come to know about the North American Metal scene.”

Blabbermouth.net – 8 out of 10 “Put simply, "Act of Attrition" is one cool extreme metal album and proof that there are still a few worthy acts lurking in the U.S.”

RockMyMonkey.com – 8 out of 10 “Act of Attrition by Autumn’s End is a brilliant album. It is only a matter of time before these guys blow up in the scene.”

Obliveon.net – 9.5 out of 10 Review is in German.

Deadtide.com This album will easily appeal to anyone into thrash, melodic death metal, technical death metal, and even brutal death. This is some really good shit, plain and simple.

Apeshit.org This is easily one of the top bands to watch as 2006 winds down, and AUTUMN’S END should be headlining their own U.S. tours in the not-so-distant future if they keep up this kind of effort.

Zia Zine Issue November 2006 “If you’re a metal-loving maniac but you’re not into fashion-centric kiddy-metal bands who weren’t even alive when metal was as its peak in the 80’s, Autumn’s End is the bloodcurdling cure.”

Maelstrom.com “(Act of Attrition) combines a Satanic, black metal mentality with a more moderate musical style: some harmonized singing, slow, melodic guitar lines and down-tempo drumming fall among the harder portions.

AEA Zine Awsome drums and guitars.The music rips 2 assholes into me. Autumns End breaks down with a Paradise Lost/Lake of Tears spin, but not forgetting the roots with what its all about in a mix of ups and downs when it comes to True Fuckng Metal.

Reviews - S/T

Metaleater.com – 8 out of 10 AUTUMN'S END may just be the penultimate American counter-response to the wave of brilliance flowing out of Sweden in the form of OPETH and others. Diverse, effective, driving, energized, dominating and enthralling, AUTUMN'S END embody the greatest aspects of American Metal and have spliced them in a collage of succinct brutality, thick and meaty rhythms, melodic tendencies and resonant acoustic beauty, resulting in a sound that is both instantly distinct and uncompromisingly compelling.

DefendersofSteel.net – 7 out of 10 Review is in Italian.

HardandHeavy.org – 4 out of 5 Review is in Italian.

Phoenix New Times The most promising band in the local metal scene. Autumn's End keeps it dark and heavy, and pretty much exemplifies Arizona metal: shredding guitars and growling guys in black cowboy hats. Autumn's End is a must for fans of Black Dahlia Murder and Lamb of God.

Slam Magazine Brutal riffs, thundering drums and bass, and tortured vocals give way to melodic acoustic, lush harmonies, and heartfelt lyrics that take the listener through the highs and lows of human emotion. Look out world…Autumn’s End is coming!!

Crave Magazine This album is better than a lot of mainstream music out there. I think a lot of people could really get behind this album and support this band.



Explicitly Intense Magazine Issue #20 "This band has the talent meter in the red and the road ahead is wide open-it's nowhere but up (with a scenic detour through hell) for SANITY IN DEATH. We're talking potential reminiscent of the musical awareness, depth and ability of EDGE OF SANITY with a singer that's a morbid, mutant version of Phil Anselmo (with the apt moniker Demon) manning the mic.”

Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles #93 “Tucson, Arizona is home to these extreme death metallers, Sanity In Death grabbing the listener with a sound that is as atmospheric and proggy as it is relentlessly crushing. Vocally, this six-man wrecking crew oscillate from Anselmo-like introspection to far-flung black and death – the effect is exhilarating and as jarring as the unexpected musical pathways roiling beneath.”

Metal Eater 8 out of 10 “At the apex of the Southwestern Death phenomenon is the tormented musings of Tucson's SANITY IN DEATH, easy contenders for the most under - rated underground metal band in the continental US.”

The Great Nothing “It’s only fitting that a hot act like Sanity in Death comes from a hot place like Arizona. The six-piece brings to the metal world an explosive attack of death/hardcore metal sure to create waves.”

LIVE4METAL.COM “Sanity In Death combine the riffing style and speed from “Hell Awaits” with a meatier production, but still firmly rooted in an 80’s sound, with some impressive deep seated death metal growls and even some over the top black metal screams from the vocalist, name of Demon.”

Dead Tide “If Cannibal Corpse and Pantera opted to become "life partners" and adopt a young band as the union's demon-spawned bastard child, Sanity In Death would certainly be a worthy candidate.”

Maelstrom “…an amazing mix of death metal and hardcore, while not getting to the redundant parts of metalcore.”

Metal Exiles “Sanity In Death has come out of the desert to lay waste to the metal scene that you think you know. If you are a fan of death metal then SID is the band that will churn our metal guts to shreds. Their debut CD is just the potion that will make even the most picky metal fan take notice once again.”

Criticas De Discos “In general this album debut is simply genius. Perfect for the addicts of melodic death metal; that fast death metal with melodies that latch on and a characteristic darkness as those bands from the early 90’s. “

Zia Zine Issue February 2006 “The Tucson death-metal band sounds more brutal than a cavity search done with a crowbar. Singer Demon's guttural growls and throat-burning screams are driven by blisteringly fast guitars, pummeling bass.”

Transcending The Mundane "Sanity In Death is a band which doesn't force themselves into a particular genre. They keep their options open and don't have a definable sound." Album Score: 7.5 out of 10

Espudd.com "This is their debut album and you can easily hear the potential that these boys from Arizona have. For an obscure and pretty much unknown band, Sanity In Death has what it takes to turn the head of the underground metal world."

The Edge Magazine - Texas "This self-titled record hammers the listener with some sick fucking thrash-inspired death that brings fear and cowardice to the uninitiated and blissful joy to metal devotees."

The Legion 666 8.5 out of 10 "Like a deaf man with only his inner voices to keep him company, Arizona natives, Sanity In Death bring the noise and deliver insane riffs with a true intensity that is lacking in alot of bands in todays scene."
