"Post-hecatomb soundtrack" Rolling Stone Brasil
"Noise factory" Scream
& Yell
"Claustrophobic" Sιrgio
Martins (renowned journalist)
"Guillotined chords in ever growing tremor" RockinPress
"Dark and ghostly; Post-apocalyptic cinematographic ambiances"
Movin' Up
"Guitar insanity and dark ambiances" Move That Jukebox
"One of the greatest names in Brazilian post-rock" Fora do Eixo
"Time stopped, Earth stopped, and all there was at that precise
moment were heavy bass lines, furious distorted guitars and an audience split
between insanity and those who could barely express any reaction. Explosive, incendiary concert, that
left the audience in another frequency." RockinPress
"What was impressive was that none in the room could avoid the thrilling
sensation of hair-raising during the concert. Noise, gorgeous riffs, art and a
lot of fun. The intensity was so high that there were people screaming at the
instrumental peaks. The ending was simply apotheotic." Karen Koltrane Radio
"Whoever tries to listen to Herod Layne with the attention spanned
by this audience would have in high note a music that could be called art-rock."
