“This band showcases a musical prowess that can rival some of the greatest metal bands to ever come out of Europe (…).

(Alba Rodrigo – Fragile Alignments review from OVELLA NEGRA ROCK)

“Para que os hagais una idea, nos encontramos con riffs “gojirianos” rapidísimos y técnicos, de una contundencia pasmosa, que en directo tienen que ser una auténtica masacre, voces guturales y limpias arrancadas del alma de un cantante con excelentes facultades vocales, pasajes evocadores que invitan a cerras los ojos, virtuosismo…en definitiva: calidad.” (84/100)
(Xisco – Fragile Alignments review from ZONA ZERO)

“I also deemed it the right thing to grade this bugger with a 9.5, because quite frankly, how often do you hear something that is this deep? That is this well executed? And that is this fuckin’ delicious to listen to? You tell me. I’ll just say this: this album isn’t recommended for fans of the bands mentioned by the band itself. It’s recommended for everyone! Even your deaf grandma.” (9,5/10)

(Jacob Cámara – Fragile Alignments review from XTREEM MUSIC WEBZINE)

There is no option you really must go and find out why.”
