: A hilariously well written review of our show in Palmy a few weeks back. Must read! :) http://t.co/Ea9nsvAi

Press

“In the perfect bogan world these guys would surely be the next big Kiwi thing, taking a seat at the table of awesome with HLAH, Beastwars and Shihad. This album would in heavy circulation and you’d hear Wasted Years on Hauraki as much as Foo Fighter’s Rope and Arlandria. Sadly the mainstream ain’t cool enough to appreciate this radio friendly unit shifter. Maybe my pessimism is showing. Get out there and prove me wrong, Kasium.”

— Petros, Exhale album review - muzic.net.nz

“The anthemic Redemption is another of my picks from the album. It’s easily digestible. There are patches of quiet sandwiched between bits of awesome in some kind of delicious aural sandwich. It’s teenage angst, raw and brutal”

— Petros, Exhale album review - muzic.net.nz

"Kasium’s Exhale is the 90s rock album of the year. There are grungy guitars with blazing solos, heavy bass, hard-hitting drums and there is stoic defiance against the norms and the authorities in Kieran’s vocals. It’s all the best of Tool’s Untertow, Alice in Chain’s Dirt, Nirvana’s Bleach, Chevelle’s Point #1 and Silverchair before they were famous"

— Petros, Exhale album review - muzic.net.nz

"Kasium’s latest single So Electric is crisp production, catchy riffs, catchier lyrics and a healthy dose of wholesome rock and roll. The single couldn’t have come at a better time. I’ve just come out of a month long Kieran Cooper binge with a hunger for more. It’s a brighter tone than their recent sneaky single, Halo, though very much cut from the same cloth. "

— Peter-James Dries, muzic.net.nz

"I realise that Kasium’s self-produced Premonition EP was released a good three years ago, but it’s a release I thought I needed to draw attention to. I’m not sure why these guys haven't taken off more than they have, they have a lot riding for them; the dark look, the rock angst, the cultural commentary video."

— Petros, muzic.net.nz

“ "‘Premonition’ is sludgy and divine; undoubtedly heavy it is still warm, familiar and easy to listen to. Closing my Eyes is an extremely catchy song which surely will gain airplay on New Zealand’s rock-based stations soon and All Alone stands out as being a perfect archetype of the genre"”

— Kate Foster, NZ Musician

“Kasium , an unpretentious outfit who describe their sound as "something between Alice in Chains and Korn.” They actually sound fresher, less early-2000s Blenheim Bogan and more inventive than that though. ...If “Fall Away” is anything to go by, expect something raw but nuanced and unpredictable from this Auckland-based band.”

— 95 Bfm, Fancy new bands night

It's like Kurt Cobain had a threesome with Adam Jones from Tool and Marilyn Manson while the Melvins stood by applauding
