“...To sum up,maybe the best progressive album this year.Kudos to Mindwarp Chamber for evolving their sound. As a result,if I rated 'delusional reality; with 4 stars,this work cannot be rated with less than 5 stars. ”

— Mel from Hell, Prog Archives

“…Supernova is just as terrific as their debut Delusional Reality. Significantly, Supernova establishes the Chicago-based band as an American progressive metal band to be reckoned with, one that can stand easily beside peers like Dream Theater. ”

— Craig Hartranft, Danger Dog Music Reviews

“.... This band needs serious attention , because they deliver some of the best if not the best prog metal from today, realy they shine in every single aspect . Each track is mindblowing, the keybords melting with the guitar as rearely I've heard latley in this bussines, and I mean excellent and very fresh arrangements, not some never ending riffs over some boring vocal passages like many bands from today offers. The drums are complex, very intelligent. I will not extract a piece to be the best because all are superb and damn good. 4.5 for this album, nearly a masterpiece, a kinda rare thing to the progressive metal bands from today. Recommended, both albums, Mindwarp Chamber done it again big time, realy a superb and one of the finest bands around in this genre. Hands down for this band and respect. They need a much more recognition from the listners.”

“When I first heard these guys with the release of their debut disc Delusional Reality, I thought they would be hard pressed to top it. Boy was I wrong! The addition of guitarist Michael Cerna and a creativeness which rivals Dream Theater or Porcupine Tree, toss in a little Andrew Lloyd Weber and Mindwarp Chamber proves that they are the real deal. If you can stand the heat, this disc is a must have. I have often suspected that the difference between many of the so called super groups and those that have remained relatively unheard of like Mindwarp Chamber is mostly a matter of luck. My suspicions are more than justified as I listen to this disc that will challenge anything you want to compare them with. Magnificent musical ability, the powerful vocals of Scott Huffman and enough time changes and genre bending to keep you forever entertained. I have not heard a disc in recent memory that even comes close to the package that Mindwarp Chamber presents here. ..cont”

“Chicago-area based progressive metal band MINDWARP CHAMBER has completed their second album, Supernova, and is now looking for record distribution or a label home. Contact Mindwarp Chamber at their MySpace page. ”

“...Although Powerfest becomes more diverse every year, Mindwarp Chamber evinces the event's roots in the progressive/power metal scene, where titanic musicianship, powerful singing and strong melodies adorn the sonic aggression. Huffman displays world-class vocals on Mindwarp Chamber's debut album, "Delusional Reality." He says he has no formal training aside from occasional tips found on the Internet. "I was a professional drummer that was frustrated by not having any singers," Huffman recounts. "So, I started writing lyrics and singing myself." He went on to front bands including Syris, Spirit Web and Twelfth Gate before forming Mindwarp Chamber with keyboardist Ed Bethishou near the end of 2005...”

— Jeff Pizek , The Daily Herald

“MINDWARP CHAMBER, the new Illinois-based band featuring Scott Huffman (formerly of TWELFTH GATE) on vocals, along with Brent Sullivan (formerly of WINTERKILL) on bass, Ed "Shreddy" Bethishou (formerly of the DAVID SHANKLE GROUP) on keyboards, Mike Cerna on guitar and Paul Kilkenny on drums, will release its new full-length album, "Delusional Reality", on July 8. The CD was produced by MINDWARP CHAMBER's Jerry Buzcko and Chris Wisco at Belle City Sound (NOVEMBERS DOOM) in Racine, Wisconsin and contains "Over one hour of great power-progressive metal music," according to the group. MINDWARP CHAMBER was previously described in the band's official bio as "a heavy, progressive band with no restrictions on their writing style. . . ”
