“Not nearly as spaced out but indefinitely more baked are seekers of the riff, Plastic Gods. Iceland’s only band that is proper in their doom, sludge and heavy stoner dabblings. Boris, Sunn 0))) and Grief come to mind. Rad ”

— Birkir Fjalar Viðarsson, Grapevine 2009

“Metal Hammer[7.0]"Punishing sludge doom" EISTNAFLUG 2011”

— Greg Moffitt, Metal Hammer

“...'Quadriplegiac' weight into the metal bout with some heavy duty doom epics under their belt and a grim perspective on the world around them, maybe the credit crunch has effected them worse than I feared!! Now down to the music and apparently 'Plastic Gods' have a drummer by the name of 'Hossi' but he doesn't feature until six minutes in to the opening track, this has to be some kind of record! As far as drone doom goes this band has everything, long winding songs with no end in sight, down tuned riffs that bang out at a snails pace yet seemingly destroy all around them and an all round sense of apocalypse, catastrophe and blackened minds collaborating to form one single doom laden entity hell bent on making the world an even more grim place than it already is. That is 'Plastic Gods' and their oddly entitled new release, maybe its a band time to be a tourist in 'Iceland' right now as you definitely do not want to incur the wrath of this five piece drone doom militia!!”

— The Inquisitor, THE EVIL INQUISITION issue 9

“Apocalyptic Sludge deities Plastic Gods however suffer from nothing, except perhaps an unfairly large helping of awesomeness. Allotted a longer set time than the bands immediately preceding or following them, Plastic Gods make full use of the entire 45 minutes and put the entire audience in a deep, somnolent trance. As meandering waves of hypnotic heaviness wash slowly over the listener one feels compelled to close ones eyes and be bathed, nay, drenched in sonic euphoria. With the rabid death growl underscoring the untold tonnage of repetitive slow motion riffs issuing from no fewer than three guitars, the experience is like that of a rapt believer finding salvation in the demented barked sermonising of a raving cult leader backed by terminally stoned drone of some demonical gospel choir.”

— Bogi Bjarnason, The Reykjavík Grapevine

“Plastic Gods are next, and they roar through an astonishing three numbers in around thirty minutes. What a glacial force to be reckoned with. Pushing a deep sediment of sludge through a filter of misery and bong water, these lads are way too young, yet adequately stoned, to be the true originators of the crushing torrent of emotion oozing from the super charged amps. ”

— Bogi Bjarnason, The Reykjavík Grapevine
