REVIEWS OF XVI:
Aural Pressure: "The music itself is brilliant at times (tracks 1, 4, 6 and 9 are especially provocative) with wonderful dark ambient moments or bombastic rhythmic pieces. The artwork is also worth a mention - beautifully detailed and geometric in the Islamic tradition."
Fiend magazine: "Avoiding being one dimensional in execution, some compositions are forcefully pounding & militant, others subdued & sinister, & yet others tribal in their musical aesthetic. To name drop, In Slaughter Natives crossbred with Muslimgauze would be a reasonable descriptive comparison. From concept, to execution and to final sleeve design, this is another strong album from the Cold Spring roster."
Terrorizer magazine: "Taking propaganda and news bites from American and Arab news channels and blending them effortlessly with their own cold industrial beats and drones, in a very similar way to Boyd Rice's NON but with a profound Middle Eastern feel, they've made a very of-the-moment release that will haunt you for years to come."
