"By the Stars" reviewed at The Big Takeover 

 

Thank you to The Big Takeover!

“'By The Stars' is still full of rich and resonant guitars, full-on but precise drums, bass lines that deliver both momentum and melody, and of course, Ria Aursjoen’s dreamlike vocals, here pushing even further into the otherworldly realm that they are never too far from.”

Review of "Elements of Air" at The Big Takeover 

 

Thanks so much to The Big Takeover in NYC for reviewing the new single!

“From the tribal beat intro to the sepentine and shimmering guitars that slice the air like a sword-wielding dervish at work, from the depth charge bass to Ria Aursjoen’s beguiling vocals, a voice that seems to land somewhere between the arabesque and the otherworldly, this is a song that transports you to another time, another place… another dimension.”

"Saints of Absolution" Reviewed By RingMaster Review 

Thank you to RingMaster Review for the “Saints of Absolution” review, saying the song is “rich in drama from start to finish with its build to and subsequent crescendo of tension amid inescapable virulence as arousing as it is an irresistible trespass”

"Saints of Absolution" Reviewed By Skylight Webzine 

Athens-based Skylight Webzine had rad “Saints of Absolution” thoughts. Much appreciated!

“a strong tour towards the darkest corners of modern post-punk, with a song that feeds on suspense, atmosphere, and strong feelings. The music begins with deep, echoing drums and a mechanical bassline, putting the listener in a dark, cinematic atmosphere.”

"Hermine" Review from Myth of Rock 

Myth of Rock gave “Hermine” a great review. Thank you!

“From the opening seconds, the song erupts with a wall of sound—buzzing guitars, thunderous drumming, and a driving bassline creating an unstoppable momentum that doesn’t let up. Vocalist Ria Aursjoen is the centerpiece here, her performance shifting between commanding strength and raw vulnerability.”
