"Everywhere one looks there is something to enjoy on this record, whether it be the epic Window of the Soul which closes things or the opening instrumental Archangel which unusually for me I've played every time I've listened to the CD as the twin guitar sound is so good. I Executioner is unfeasibly heavy gut like many of the songs herein has an annoyingly catchy hook that one can't shake off....." read full review

"I'll be honest. I came across this album purely by accident, when my secret metal music source told me that Tyranny of Minority was a Progressive Death Metal album. Without bothering to Google a review, I went straight out and got my hands on it......" read full review

"What makes this album stand out to me is the sheer consistency of it. It's very good from beginning to end and never really takes a dip anywhere in between. The album opens up in strong fashion with the track 'Generation Kill' that in sound had me thinking 'Electric Crown' from Testament in the guitar sounds. For those that have been missing that type of sound in music, oh man you are gonna love this record....." read full review

"while the has-beens of metal are busy taking computer geeks to court or (tragically) getting shot on stage, the genre seems to have taken a turn for the worse. The guitar solos have gone, the production is over-polished, and the music videos are looking more and more like they belong on MTV Base.

"England has birthed many seminal metal bands, from Black Sabbath to Iron Maiden to Judas Priest and Def Leppard. They all had one thing in common - great guitars.
