Press

“The spirit of NYC's metallic hardcore of the 90s, from Burn to Indecision, taken and shoved deep down the Death Metal rabbit hole! Frontwoman Jessica Pimentel is a force to be reckoned with. ”

— Curran Reynolds, Precious Metal NYC

“To be turning this many heads, AG is clearly bringing a high-energy musical assault wherever they go -- but the meaning behind their lyrics gives them an unusual twist. ”

— Jessie May, Alternative Control

“One of the stand out support acts were Brooklyn’s own hardcore-thrashers, Alekhine’s Gun. The ‘Gun’ most definitely made the hometown crowd proud..... Alekhine’s main goal of the show was audience inclusion while of course melting faces. As they ripped through songs like “Bardo” and “Vengeance” you could tell the crowd was getting the band to turn the energy all the way up.”

— Jayson Rubin, LocalBozo

“Brooklyn’s own Alekhine’s Gun blew fans away with their vigorous performance, as female vocalist Jessica Pimentel proved she could rock (and growl) with the best of them.”

— Liz Ramanand, Loudwire

“A torrent of machine gun riffs and marching double kick drums give way to pure sonic mayhem. Their sound can be best described as an amalgam of blackened death metal (think BEHEMOTH), thrash and a few nods to New York hardcore..... One part PANTERA and two parts total evil. I will following their career with great interest and looking out for the full length in the future. ”

— Keith (Keefy) Chachkes, Metal Army America

“The old-school flavors of Down drowned in a sufficient fill of animosity and bridges burnt (remembered, and reignited through the metal medium) inspired lyrics topped off primal, relentless drumming and raw, Cavalera-style riffage. Their presence was electric: Alekhine’s Gun brought in the primal, seedy thrash,”

— Navjot Kaur, SMN News

“After seeing them perform live, and listening to their music over and over again, there is no doubt in our mind that as long as Alekhine’s Gun remains focused on their furious craft, they have the right artillery to take the world hostage!”

— Joseph Schüftan, Horns Up Rocks

“I didn't know you could do that. You sound like a demon and very professional.”

— Jessica's Mom, Brooklyn. NY

“The band is fronted by bad ass, Jessica Pimentel, who is as ferocious, loud and outward as they come. Combined with talented musicians all around, Alekhine's Gun should have no problem raising heads in the scene this upcoming year.”

— Frank Godla, Metal Injection

"A brutal UNSIGNED band called Alekhine's Gun, fronted by a TRUE Metalera Latina! They blend various elements of Metal & Hardcore very precisely, without ever losing sight of their musical sound.Check these badasses out!

— Joseph Schüftan, Horns Up Rocks

"Blending elements of hardcore and death metal, ALEKHINE's GUN is a ferocious sonic assault that is catchy and guaranteed to make you move. The vocals are as tough as Walls of Jericho and as dynamic as Arch Enemy, watch out because theres a new badass chick singer on the block and her name is THE CRUSHER!"

— Ian McHugh, Stifling Neglect

“ Jessica's voice crushes like a ten ton hammer!!!! With her leading the assault, the fast and furious Alekhines's Gun, are destined to shine amongst the best in the metal industry. Look forward to hearing more, more, more!!!!!!!!”

— Phil , The Judas Syndrome

“My face is melted off!!”
