“All Living Fear really were on form when they went into Broken Dream and then Feel. They were solid together and the reaction they commanded from the audience was amazing. ”

— Phlis, Vampirefreaks

“Coming Home to me is a modern gothic masterpiece which is the best that All Living Fear has ever created. The album starts with a track called Broken Child, this starts with a beautiful melodic resonance. Vocally calm but yet it is all that All Living Fear is known for. Broken Dream starts setting up the atmosphere to perfection, again the guitar work is amazing. . To me if Pink Floyd could do goth music it would sound like Broken Dream All I can say is, Oh My Good GOTH. What a superb track Wait For Yesterday is. Destiny is one track that I adore so much, the guitars carry that element of The Cure’s finest work and this echoes through the whole track. Dark Out Here is just as the track titles suggest, if you close your eyes the music really paints a picture of being out in the cold. To me it shows true talent when the culmination of the music, vocals and words are able for you to feel the song. Breaking The fire can be described as none the less a perfectly designed goth tra”

“A glorious mix of dark cure overtones with the light and shade of great songwriting . Think The Cult/ Sisters OF Mercy. Melodic opener Broken Child sets an acoustic atmospheric tone with follow up Broken Dream kicking its quieter sibling into touch .Its guitar strides giving a defiant two figures to its mother . The albums textures and feel become more important with every listen. The gaps in the music ,breath and take on a life of its own within the recording space. Highlights include the almost poppy sounding "Feel "with its simple hypnotic child like riff and "Breaking the fire" A solid drive through the rock landscape of old with its twirling guitar harmonies . Forgotten how good this music can be ? Then remind yourself today, with giving it the repeat listening it deserves. ”

— Jackson Cooper, This is South Devon

“After the Gotterdammerung with ALL LIVING FEAR must make an additional "partial denial." The news published on this web-zine in 2009 on the departure of artistic ALF was neither false it tendentious: the group was in fact left without a singer and founding father of Matthew North had suggested his removal from the goth scene. Only through the media success of what was to become the last single of the "Twenty nine point nine", with the same voice to the North, the band found the strength to continue his artistic adventure. The success grew with the following ep download "Broken Dream" and "Breaking the fire" so that the "new ALF" passed "in popularity" nineties of the ALF. The new album "Coming Home" (Dangernoise Records), billed as the true epitaph of their careers, we return the group of Bovey Tracey with a more acoustic sound and slowed down the Mission that mixes classic to goth-trip-hop of the aircraft The Eden House. Out from 01 November. ”

— Mr Moonlight, Erbadella Strega

“ALL LIVING FEAR BROKEN DREAM EP Download Well the new line-up aren’t hanging around, and here’s another good EP for download. A lovely, slow spreading ‘Broken Dream’ is hypnotically catchy, ‘Dark Out Here (New And Old)’ delicate but moody. With a firmer vocal push, more vibrant rhythmical sense and frillier guitar ‘Destiny’ looms larger, and Matthew wanders off into a lugubrious 80’s guitar break which then fades. Chunky bass and a pattering rhythm sees ‘Wait For Yesterday’ moving through an interesting rumbling, tumbling jumble. http://alllivingfear.bandcamp.com http://www.alllivingfear.co.uk http://www.facebook.com/alllivingfear”
