Evile? “Carrying [thrash’s] whole ‘revival’ on their shoulders” – Kerrang!. “They have the metal mettle to be on the main stage [at Download] this time next year” – Terrorizer. “They [rock] bloody well and with an air of easy confidence, while sounding like they want to flatten everything in sight” – Metal Hammer.
