Reviews said:
"Local Metal boys come through with an awesome release comprising of full on riffage, a solid rythm section and screamed and sung vocals"
Reveal Records
"Fallen Friend were the first band on so it was cool that there were people there to see them. Every time I see those guys, they always blow me away."
Diamond Girls Promotions @ "The Mansfield Massacre"
"Fallen Friend have a good blend of melody contrasting with a more aggressive sound going on here. And it's this sort of thing that makes good listening."
4/5 New Breed Online "Online Fanzine"
"All members are on fire within moments - shouty vocalist vs. melodic vocalist, very heavy riffery - They NEED to do this, their total conviction is there to be witnessed. THE surprise of the night and a must see again act!"
Kevin Hewick "The Shed, Leicester"
