Praise for Devouring Darkness:
“Devouring Darkness is an unceasing beatdown of a death metal album where technicality takes a backseat to brutality. The chops are put in service of the songs and not the other way around, and that results in some entertaining ear fuckery.”
– Angry Metal Guy
“Applying unholy fire to their stabbing motion’d work these folks fourth full-length album embraces vengeful evil, corruption of impure souls in theme and in the process dements its glossier sound through a reasonable amount of groove heavy, hammer-hooved variety on ‘Devouring Darkness‘. Malicious guidance does well to hold their focus tight on bludgeoning brutal death metal here, an ideal ratio of unreal skill and severe impact which delivers one of the band’s better releases to date.”
– Mystification Zine
“Unmerciful are among us to blast our ears with Brutal Death Metal at its finest, and instead of succumbing to darkness, let’s simply devour it mercilessly to the sound of their infuriated new album
– The Headbanging Moose
“You’ll feel a lot like Alex does in A Clockwork Orange when he’s strapped into the chair for a bit of the old ‘ultra violence’. A swirl of riffs will wrap themselves around you like a coiled snake, and the drums will cave your head in.”
– Dead Rhetoric
