“Ancient Obliteration is an uncommonly original independent Metal act and one to watch out for. I wish them total Metal success as "A Menacing Reality" proves they deserve it.”

— Vile Ent, Vile-Views.com

"A Menacing Reality" takes a big step forward, causes the Ancient Obliteration may have their a product capable of attracting fans especially the Old School, so it is to these fanatics who turn to give the council a chance to listen to these musicians.

— Mourning, Aristocracy Webzine

“Equipped with strong and interesting riffs and completely ignoring the vocal tendencies of modern bands Ancient Obliteration manage to carve a small niche for themselves in the dark depths of metal. Incorporating lots of traditional death and thrash metal constituents like thrashy bass lines and vocals that take from both death metal and crossoverish thrash the four-man band has found several elicit ways to evoke my interest with they utter weirdness.”

— Jakob Goul, Goul's Crypt

“The riffs are simple yet familiar even as dirty as they sound. The rhythm section runs to perfection. Sound wise you would think this was recorded at Sunlight Studios. It's when the vocals kick in I'm wondering if they're genius or just fucking with people (or both?). There's songs about colossal radiated ant lords; "Radiated Overlords" (reminds me of one of my favorite Big Bug movies from the 50's), the obligatory satanic messaging; "Professor of Black Magic" as well as "Pagan Rape" (although far from cheesy) and of course transcendation; "Hunted and Deranged In This Bleak Zone". Either way A Menacing Reality is exactly what it says. ”

— Scumfeast Metal 666, Scumfeast Metal 666

“Overall A Menacing Reality is a solid release. Ancient Obliteration are definitely showing some improvement when compared to their previous releases. It seems each time they put something out there has been at least a slight tweak in their sound. Fans of death and/or thrash metal will be pleased with this album to say the least. Ancient Obliteration still has plenty of room for improvement, but considering this is their debut full-length it slays twice as much as I had expected. Give this one a listen.”

— Combustion, Foul Feast of Flesh

“You mix Dayglo Abortions with some great old American deathrashdoom sicko bands like Righteous Pigs, Impetigo and Goatlord, then smatter in a healthy dose of their own sound and you have Ancient Obliteration. Seriously the more I listen to these guys it makes me think of a more off-balance slightly more modern version of Righteous Pigs (which featured Mitch Harris of Defecation/Napalm Death fame in its ranks). I loved the Pigs so that is a compliment. Ancient Obliteration is probably an acquired taste for some that like it all slick and by the numbers. For the rest of you reading this check out these dirty sounding, fuzzy monster obsessed pervs out.”

— Dale, Canadian Assault zine
