"There's only three bands that I've gotten this stoked on in the past decade and that's Daughters, the new Coalesce album, and these guys." ~ Matt Beck, Spitfire
...Social commentaries over soundtracks that take the best aspects of hardcore, metalcore, and grind, blended together to create a symphony that is so different from what you’ve heard in the past, yet has a feel that you have known for ages; is simply the best way to describe Syrens. This self titled EP is flawless in my eyes...Syrens produces a sound that has a fresh feel, that will draw listeners in they just need a second of your time for you to open your ears. So may I suggest, give in and indulge you wont be disappointed I sure as hell wasn’t." - 5/5, bringonmixedreviews.com
"Guitarist Bryce Lucien leads the expedition - front loading "The People Vs Motherwolf"'s parallel realities with powered-obsidian dissonance, slipping elegant post-rock flourishes into "Metamorphosis"' glacial fissures, and, whenever opportunity knocks, enriching tracks with concise, eloquent solos, and/or gestures ported from shoegaze and black metal, as on majestic apocalypse lament "Poison Begat Poison" - but the rest of the band lacks neither skills nor volition. Encompassing everything from jazz to sludge, drummer Dustin Weaver and bassist Chance Harris' expansive vocabularies make their presence felt throughout, and it's vocalist Terrence Delaney - already a master screamer situated well beyond hardcore's conventionalized gesture set - who holds the key to a very promising band's future if his brief forays into cleanliness are any indication." - 8/10, Decibel Magazine
"Syrens has managed to create a remarkable and much needed golden goose for the world of heavy music. This is the kind of record that restores your faith in a scene." - 8.5/5, Underthegunreview.net
"This is close to perfection...loud energetic hardcore that is technically perfect. It is rich, textured, and unafraid to break conventions." 4.5/5, The Christian Manifesto
"Hitting at the listener in all directions, this week Dallas, Texas' Syrens is joining the ranks and releasing their self titled EP off of Cavity Records. Upon listening to them we saw a creative fuse of noisy grind, precise progressive melodies, and some amazing gutteral screams. For spontaneity track after track, this is an album worth buying." - Noisecreep.com
"Syrens' Cavity Records debut self titled EP is, to put it simply, psychotic. They mix influences from all over the heavy spectrum including their fusions of many death-esque breakdowns with the techincality and pure intensity of grindcore...Syrens isn't going to do anything you've never heard before, but they are going to lump it all together and make it flow in a way you haven't. They transition between massive breakdowns, unfathomably heavy, yet short instrumental breaks and Delaney's insane screaming more smoothly than most bands are capable of in this genre...they'll have no problem catching on in quite a few circles (pit or otherwise). Of course, Syrens puts it into words better than I ever could in Armageddon, with Delaney screaming: "The end is near, and we are the soundtrack." And that's exactly how it plays - like the soundtrack to armageddon: heavy, chaotic, somber, and unstoppable." - 4/5, theinterlude.com
"Guts spilled out on the floor for everyone to see Syrens self-titled EP is a winner on all levels." - Frantikmag.com
"The genre crossovers and diversification definitely give Syrens their own feel, and something that should be given a listen to by any fan of hardcore to any degree." - 8/10. Reviewrinserepeat.com
