“Notre gaillard fait feu de tout bois et brouille les pistes jonglant allègrement sur les genres : post punk, cold wave, punk, électro-indus ; il y a autant de Joy Division (d'ailleurs repris ici à travers "They walked line") ou Killing Joke que de Ministry...”
Brown Jenkins - Sentinel Of Times Webzine
“A good mixture of compressed energy and ruptured singalong tendencies, and that's not that easy to do. Either way it's the perfect antidote to a few many carols and total bonhomie.”
Mick Mercer - The Mick
“Ce disque vous baladera dans les ambiances sombres et mouvementées du groupe et ce sans compromission, sans artifice. L’utilisation des samples de voix, en plus du chant, d’une programmation rythmique en plus de la batterie, d’un synthé très froid, donne un résultat des plus surprenants.”
L'Autre Monde Webzine
“Finally "D.hell.usion" superbly closes a very interesting and enjoyable disk which reminds me of a marriage between batcave, industrial and minimal electro. Definately recommended!”
Corne - GothikRadio.com Webzine
“Ces mecs-là sont des kamikazes des temps modernes et savent aussi bien faire sauter le béton au TNT qu'instaurer un climat suffoquant à la limite de l'asphyxie.”
Thomas Mafrouche - Elegy #56
