Press

"...The 2010 release "UPON THESE ASHES" from Irreverence is 10 songs of pure uncontaminated thrash with a side of death and is pretty damn good in my book. Ultra fast tempos, heavy grooves, hellfire vocals, dark evil moods, a strong aggressive rhythm section and songs that stick to your soul. So if you like old school thrash, old school death metal, post-thrash groove metal, modern extreme metal and even black metal then you no doubt will want to pick up a copy of this muther fucker because it's all that and then some. This album truly goes in a direction that others will soon follow, so jump on board and enjoy the ride, I feel this band have a whole lot to say and are prepared to take the world by storm. This is no bull shit hype or ass kissing review, but plain and simple, my views on an incredible album by some very talented musicians and worthy of nomination for best album of the year"

— SILENCE SO LOUD.com, Irreverence - "UPON THESE ASHES"

"Non solo la musica mostra un'invidiabile compattezza (e pure altrettanta ferocia) ma gli Irreverence si ripresentano al nuovo appuntamento discografico con una lineup coesa ed ormai invariata da anni. Ed a proposito di formazioni, tra quelle "made in Germany" che hanno lasciato un segno sul sound degli Irreverence, non possono certo mancare i Sodom (peraltro la cover di "Agent Orange" era presente sul loro album d'esordio "Totally Negative Thoughts"), ed è proprio il loro leader storico Tom Angelripper a prendere parte a "Echoes of War". Un ottimo brano, ma certo non l'unico: gli altri, su tutti l'opener "Not One of Them", "The Shepherd Dog" (riecco i vecchi Kreator!), "The Truth Mask" o "Vengeance", reggono tranquillamente il confronto, grazie ad un passo da rullo compressore lanciato a folle velocità, e al gran lavoro profuso da Luca Colombo e Ricky Paioro (anche cantante e sopratutto fondatore della band) alle chitarre.."

— Sergio "Ermo" Rapetti (METAL.it), Irreverence - "UPON THESE ASHES"

"...pace ranges from fast rhythm to midtempo. Vocals are class, only thy should be more varied, although from time to time emphasized by echo effects. The opener Not One Of Them is already formed with very cruel percussive riffs, in which the typical Thrash pace is hold fast and contrasts with break down-hook lines but this construction can be heard in Nothing On My Mind . Chugging but brutal sound for the fast riffs of the second track The Sheperd Dog which also contains anyway slower break down moments. Hands Of Hate is a beast where the usual fierce accelerating feeling is broken by a more percussive and hammering thrashy pace and an unpredictable melodic bridge. Extreme aggression in the mosh monster The Truth Mask sustained by sparkling drumming and diversified guitar works. Echoes Of War featuring Tom Angelripper is the best song with much of early Metallica in the solid rhythmic. But also Repentance Of God is very interesting, an authentic blizzard of hate..."

— Dalia Di Giacomo (GRYPHON METAL.ch), RABID DIMENSION OF THRASH

"...un inizio esplosivo con la martellante "Not One of Them" per essere soddisfatto ed esige quindi che tutte le 10 tracce di questo disco siano quantomeno eccellenti. La scuola thrash seguita dal quartetto milanese è rimasta invariata, con un sound bello quadrato di stampo teutonico dove vengono saggiamente inseriti fraseggi speed per alleggerire la tensione. "The Shapherd Dog" ne è un esempio lampante, ma quanto pesta Davide su quella povera batteria e quanto è ancora incazzato il "vecchio" Ricky??? Sembra di ascoltare un incrocio tra "Agent Orange" dei Sodom, "Diabolical" dei Testament e "Coma of Souls" dei Kreator. Fortunatamente non sto scherzando, ecco forse perché sull'ottima "Echoes of War" troviamo anche lo zio Tom Angelripper che ci regala qualcuna delle sue inconfonbili sfuriate. 100% thrash, 100% made in Italy, chi dice che il buon thrash è solo all'estero? Dimenticavo, la produzione è davvero eccellente..."

— Paolo Manzi (HOLY METAL.com), Irreverence - "UPON THESE ASHES "

"The Italians IRREVERENCE are actually on the road since 1995 in the name of Thrash Metal. But unfortunately they never get beyond the underground status hitherto. With their new label Noisehead Records the men want to give with “Upon These Ashes“ proof of what they are capable of. What does sound here off my speakers? Purest Old School Thrash Metal. Raw and without any flourishes. Straight from the 80-ies. Fast riffs with a perfect rhythm fraction. Vocalist Ricky screams his head off in skilful Thrash Metal manner. 10 in the mid tempo area kept songs which withstand every competition. IRREVERENCE fetched for their song “Echoes Of War“ prominent support at Tom Angelripper (Sodom). The successful production which will please any Thrash Metal fan rounds off the complete works. Nothing could went wrong with this here. A real treat for all Old School Thrash Metal fans and such who want to be. So, buy and enjoy!!!"

— Claudia (Battlepig/Hall Of Metal), Irreverence - "UPON THESE ASHES"

"Woher auf “Upon These Ashes” der Wind weht oder auch der Sturm bläst, dürfte nach dem ersten Akkord fest stehen. IRREVERENCE stehen auf spröden und kultigen so wie langlebigen Ruhrpott – Thrash der Marke SODOM, KREATOR dazu etwas HOLY MOSES und ASSASSIN und pardauz es rumpelt wohlig in der Kiste. Nur das diese Kiste Frachtgut aus Italien ist, quasi den Pot6t nach Süden verlagert. Wen wundert es da noch, dass Onkel Tom auch seinen Gastpart auf der Scheibe bekommt. Die Songs gehen durchweg sehr roh und dreckig über die Ladentheke, verzichten auf zu viel Technik oder unerwünschte harmonische Ausschweifungen. Dafür wird wahlweise auf Tempo gesetzt und gerammelt was das Zeug hält oder bei den selteneren halben Umdrehungen mit satten Riffs gekontert. Dabei macht die Gitarre einen regelrecht schnoddrigen, ja schrammligen Eindruck, hat eher was von einer unrund laufenden Kettensäge als einem echten 6 – Saiter.."
