Kerrang Review

FRESH BRITISH STEEL WITH HEAPS OF POTENTIAL.
"Another example of British metal ongoing resurgence, Sanctorums’ debut album may be a little rough around the edges and lacking in attention-grabbing levels of invention that would facilitate a rapid ascent into the big league, but there is power and venom here in plentiful supply. Every last song has at least one unforgettable hook, lead guitarist Ash Lewis shreds and soars like a young Dave Murray, and a crisp, abrasive production lends the likes of 'Ancient Words' and 'Lifeless Love' an air of maturity that belies this bands’ relative inexperience. Only some intermittently clumsy vocals spoil the party, but it's still one well worth crashing."
