Reviews:
" Hadoken is an intelligent post-rock band with tight playing and soaring sonics" - Richard Allen (www.thesilentballet.com)
"It is even often dark and furious, but it will suddenly return to undulating calm sections, with impressive/talented orchestration. One can quickly lose oneself, to dissolve in the long rises, in the junctions which involve precise as well as lively drumming. . . It is a most pleasant discovery. This album is as much relaxing as it is gut-wrenching, as long as you take the time to truly listen and absorb yourself in it." - Nico (www.musik-industry.com)
"The group varies from the warm, meandering ambience of slow build-ups to violent, crashing climaxes. . . The floor below the musicians was cluttered with countless pedals, essential to the heavy layering of pieces with themes such as "soul destruction." - Ian Nelson, The Daily Collegian (UMASS)
"These gentlemen have forged a smooth, experimental sound that is pleasing to almost every ear, no matter what taste one may have in music." - Scott Sousa
"Beautiful and eclectic as ever. 'The Death Stone' is a meditative hymn that grows into a volcanic crescendo. 'Aerial' a slowly building aural journey that both titillates and inspires." - Ihor Dawidiuk of TUNTURIA
"What these guys have created justifies the existence of humanity" - Emir Borogovac
"The motifs in these songs are complex, more than simple crescendos or stop-starts. 'Aerial' punctuates its dreamy ambience with two swelling climaxes, making me wonder what I’ve been missing by not getting into this kind of instrumental music sooner." - Matt Reischl (www.naplesnews.com)
"I especially like that part with the guitars" - Pete Durán
