| “DeathOrchestra gives fans the chance to really home in on the sturdiness and majesty of Schuldiner’s writing. And, yes, to reflect on how well shredding violins complement shredding guitars.” – Rolling Stone “These orchestral covers of DEATH songs are really good.” – Metal Injection “The seven tracks from different creative periods of the Americans all sound really awesome. Excellent!” (15/15) – Twilight Magazin “A must for every Death fan!” (9/10) – Science of Noise “Symphony Of Death is an outstanding tribute to Death Metal and to one of its best representatives, the late Chuck Schuldiner. BUICIDE and the OLYMPIC SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA show that the collaboration between the extreme side of Metal and Classics can work to perfection.” (9/10) – Metal Temple “Impressive in its passion and ability to add over-the-top drama to music defined by its abrasiveness and complexity.” – Louder Sound “The production and sonic quality of the performances on SYMPHONY OF DEATH are top notch, and the accompanying live videos (YouTube it) create even more energy. DeathOrchestra will likely resonate more with Schuldiner devotees, but still succeeds at delivering a powerful intersection of death metal and traditional classical orchestration.” (4/5) – Metal-Rules “An incredible work. DeathOrchestra offers us an album that pays a beautiful tribute to Death.” (90/100) – Acta Infernalis “Symphony of Death is my number one candidate for 2020. And I don’t think anything will beat it this year.” – Apocalyptic Rites “It’s brave, audacious and it works.” – The Razors Edge “Long time fans of the legendary and trailblazing death metal band, Death will find 7 instrumental versions of tracks here that are probably the most lavish and extravagant versions ever heard.” – Games, Brrraaains & a Head-Banging Life “An example of two musical styles being blended in a creative and satisfying fashion. Thus, it gets two thumbs way up.” – Avant Music News |
