“The musicianship of the artists is beyond doubt. Just listen to the guitar solos in 'I'm Calling' or the bass work in 'Enter The Light'. If you appreciated previous Stairway albums, you should certainly check out this new one. If you're into classic hard rock and heavy metal, with great melodies, lots of well played solos, and good, clear singing, Stairway is a name to remember. ”

— Marco Overvest, Art For The Ears

“If you like to be into the latest trend, then you might as well do us both a favour and go off now. Iron Maiden has effectively been playing the same style since 1979 and they generally don’t get slagged off in their reviews. Unlike other reviewers I’m not about to rip Stairway apart for playing classic NWOBHM metal. Interregnum Proves that heavy metal doesn’t come with an age barrier AND it isn’t a passing phase, I hope that Stairway will continue to live life loud. Rating: 7/10 ”

— Peter Willoughby, The Metal Resource Webzine

“Every once in a while you need an album like this – the kind of record that joyfully ignores all the current trends and just rocks on in exactly the way it wishes to….if kids had this on their iPods rather than the typical wayward bullshit, then they’d probably smile every now and again. ”

“There's nothing I admire more than a band who does what they feel like doing, continuing to push & hone their craft & basically not giving a toss what the masses think or say. This band might be England's best kept metal secret & they're way too good for that. ”

— Chaos Realm Magazine- USA

“For those metal fans who are always searching the underground scene for lost diamonds, have found a band to rely on. Bands like Stairway are true to their beliefs - Heavy metal is not a trend... it’s an idea, a way of living, and Stairway seems to know that very well!!! ”

— T.A, Grande Rock Magazine Greece
