Review on No Clean Singing

This is an interesting one: a website that focuses on extreme metal, a reviewer that prefers extreme metal, and some tough rules that normally only allow the reviewer to listen and write about a single track from an artist.  Despite that, they’ve given us a great review and a personal message from the reviewer himself.

8/10 from Dead Press

Another great review here from deadpress.co.uk.  The reviewer picked up on one of the important parts of the album for us: the flow between the tracks.

“The entire album is perfectly organised, and sounds as if it’s one everlasting song. The changeovers between tracks are brilliant, and combining that with the fantastic sound these guys produce you have an album perfect to sit back and listen to.”

It’s always been important to us to create albums that work as complete pieces of music and it’s great to get recognition for that.

9/10 from Germany’s Power Metal Zine

Another belting review here from the German web-press.  The introductory paragraph shows something we’re really proud of – listeners n0t knowing what to suspect and being and being extremely happy with what they’re listening to.  To quote Google translate’s version of the article:

“It’s always nice when you discover totally unprepared and without any expectation of bands for themselves. ILLUMINATUS is one such band that has recorded with “Glasnost” is a wonderful album.”
