| BloodDawn.de
(GER) "Compared to this band, Atheist and Cynic seem like 3-chords-punk, Steve Vai and Joe Satriani like guitar pupils, Steve DiGiorgio like a total beginner on the bass and Gene Hoglan like a school band drummer... despite these extremes, the band manages to deliver a homogenous and comprehensible piece of high quality musical art that does not allow any criticism... Result: 6 out of 5 points" read the complete review (in German) |

(USA) "Forget everything you know about technical death metal. Whatever band you're listening to now that you think is pushing the envelope... does indeed pale in comparison to the 2003 Furioso opus Pavor has delivered... the first technical band I can recall that decorates their songs with an actual sense of atmosphere... Do something for this band because the contribution on this record makes any effort you'll do in daily life completely worthless" read the complete review |
