  • Kerrang! - "Sure to blow all the competition out of the water"
  • Terrorizer - "Possibly one of the most exciting things to come out of the British metal scene for some time"
  • Powerplay - "Head nodding grooves and filmic drama"
  • Metal Hammer UK "Xerath sound like the result of a chaotic experiment to produce the ultimate please-them-all 21st century metal band.
