“Not only do Hellish Outcast not do black metal, they also don’t do nice. Or comfortable. Or anything less aggressive than a rabid pit-bull that’s been force-fed a diet of sand and barbed wire. In fact, this album is so damned aggressive, so utterly hate-filled, that it should come with a warning label along the lines of: Danger – the levels of testosterone and aggression on this album could cause permanent damage to your underlying genetic structure. I’d hesitate to call this album refined; it’s too harsh, and too raw for that. What it is, what it really is, is a sonic powerhouse, a perfectly designed metallic predator. There’s no extraneous fat. No weakness. Just a stabbing, biting, relentless killing machine of buzz-saw riffs and jack-hammer drums, ready to fight tooth and claw against anyone and everyone. Pick your side very carefully…”
Andy Synn - This Is Not A Scene

““Your God Will Bleed” is one of those albums that reminds me why I review albums. 6/6”
Raymond Storebø - Norsk Metal

“From the first few tracks, it’s evident that the band’s collective experience in the metal underworld has given the band the kind of armoury a guerrilla outfit buried in the depths of the jungle would be envious of. Each track a tightly-clenched fist, the album a bruiser, this is ferocious and intense.”
Jason Guest - The Midlands Rocks

“Hellish Outcast consists of a quartet of metal excellence: Thebon (Vocals), Alkolust (Drums), Max Morbid (Bass), and Martin Legried (Guitars). The band mixes death metal style with a very slight edge of sludge, just to give a groovy tempo to the perfect guitar riffs. The vocals are guttural, with some primal screams placed in between to give a more dynamic structure. Every verse, interlude and chorus is followed by brutal ballads and crushing riffs, giving this album energy, ferociousness and chaos. There’s a resemblance in the music to some well-known bands such as: Testament, Venom and Down.”
Phil 'Krav' Krawiec - This Is Not A Scene

“Hellish Outcast play a raw, callous and unhinged brand of metal that fuses numerous brutish styles into one disgustingly potent, albeit repetitious, amalgamation”
Lee Rochester - The New Review

“Speaking of eyes, “Rapid Eye Movement” is even more thrash-influenced — with a blazing, darting, saw-like lead, physically compulsive drumming, and another one of those wah-wah screaming solos. But even with the thrash-metal pacing, this is still death metal — the grinding weight of it is tangible.”
Islander - No Clean Singing

“Be prepared for a brutal beating and then prepare yourself to come back for more and more thereafter, as these fellas really deliver, without question, one of the best EP's of the year!”
Damien Bentley - Trinity Records Hong Kong

“a package hitting you in the face like Mjølnir, Thor’s mighty hammer: usually not a pretty feeling, but when it comes down to this genre a must.”
Neithan - LORDS OF METAL

“With a name like that, you pretty much know what you're getting into. Or not, this band is more of a death/thrash metal band, more emphasis on the thrash. Actually this is pretty good (..) I could get into these guys.”
Shadowking86 - METALATTORNEY

“To me Hellish Outcast is the definite 'winners' of this evening!”
Sandra - ETERNAL-TERROR.COM

“Well crafted brutal modern thrash.”
