“Lock away your children and let's rock, to an awesome hard rock band from Chicago fronted by Kryssie Ridolfi. And this lass has such an awesome voice that is suited to this style of music, that I know we are onto a winner from track 1 ... This track 'Amy' is one of my faves, ... 'Back To Blood', keeps the pace up, this opening salvo being hard, heavy and they rock. Things slow down slightly for 'Far Be It From Me', a melodic number with a catchy chorus ... I am impressed with what I have heard so far. The album continues in a similar style, ... with Kryssie's vocal performance awesome throughout. For further highlights check out 'Selfish' and the thundering 'Save Me'. This is Deadman's Wake's debut full length release, and I am very impressed. Worth checking out for anybody that likes their music hard, heavy and melodic. And I also wish to note that the band has also had a support slot with In This Moment (a Ravenheart Music fave). ... A good little release...”

— Dave Smith, Ravenheart Music

“What you get on "It Comes To This" is 11-songs and 45-minutes worth of straight-forward, melodic and energetic hard music from this Chicago band. I have to admit that I loved the simplicity and directness of the songs on "It Comes To This". There is simply no fooling around or wasted energy on the music as the band gets going, right from the opening of track 1, "Amy". "Back To Blood" continues the intensity with it's heavy riff that gets this one off to a crunchy start. This song features a great, catchy chorus that really helps make this one of the best songs on "It Comes To This". Other highlights include: "Far Be It From Me", "Murder", "Partner In Crime" and the acoustic "Homeless" which closes the CD.”

— Tony Canella, Femme Metal Webzine

"It Comes To This ultimately features a band on the verge of big things, being magnetically led by a singer whose voice could ignite the souls of even the most mold ridden corpses in grandma’s graveyard hall of fame. “Would you be my partner in crime,” Ridolfi moans meaningfully at one point- well, yes, Kryssie! Hell, yes!"

— Brian Kirst, Horror Society

“Melodic and loud, with an eviscerating stage presence and horror filled moves, Deadmans Wake is one of Illinois’ rising bands. While currently screaming up the recorded airwaves (Their CD “It Comes To This” will drop in Winter 2009) and massacring concert halls (including an upcoming show at Mojoe’s in Orland Park, IL on 11/18/2009), the friendly and inventive members of Deadmans Wake recently took a few moments to bloodily round robin some viscous questions for Horror Society.”

— Brian Kirst, Horror Society
