"Gates Of Valhalla" is the first track on this EP and indeed, it's an in-your-face opening to the album! There are no mystical intro's or outro's. The song starts and ends with rhythmic riffs and concrete drum beats. This intense, raging and precise composition will make you headbang right away. Professional vocals are at times shouted then growled within a range of over three octaves. The song contains lyrics that are masterfully mixed with spinning and chunky guitar riffs that stitch the song structures together like an overlock. Non-pushy percussive elements of the drums never predominate the other instruments, which may be a golden ratio for an intelligent form of metal music. Finally, great bass lines stand strong to solidify the drums and accentuate the overall orchestration.

— Katarzyna NINa Górnisiewicz , Fabryka Magazine

“Have you ever heard a song once or twice and the chorus sticks in your head like peanut butter to the roof of your mouth? That's the case here. I found myself walking around humming & singing the chorus to "Gates of Valhalla". The rough part was I couldn't recall what it was that I was singing. I was looking for a cd to listen to and popped in this EP. BOOM! There it was. Yesterday's Saints provide a more traditional and balanced approach to metal than most of the new bands I hear. Led by the incredibly powerful voice of Matt Rice the rest of the band provides a straight forward brand of thrash metal that is unique to this quartet. There's a constant drive to the guitar. Relentless drumming too. Every song. I don't know if they set out to achieve genuine old school thrash with a modern day twist, but that's what's going on here. RBH! STAMP of METAL APPROVAL!”

“Fas Lane Racing Puts the Pedal to the Heavy Metal with Yesterday's Saints”

— Brent Bushu, Catchfence

“Made up of Matt Rice, Al Born, Witt Black and Phil D'Arcangelis, music doesn't come any more Metal than Yesterday's Saints. This band is more Metal than a Viking helmet full of lightning flying through a crowd of terrified hot platinum blonde strippers with big 80's hair propelled by the explosion of an A-bomb. ”

— Drunk Buddha

“Back to that what’s in a name thing…you wouldn’t necessarily know on impact that Yesterday’s Saints from the Washington, DC area are going to come out of the speakers so hard that you might just look like you’re facing a wind tunnel. So let me just get that out of the way for you real quickly. This band is not screwing around! This is tight, aggressive music! Metal / Hybrid Thrash about to blow Sickenberger Lane like a scene in Backdraft. Don’t tell the insurance agents.”

— Melissa Walker, UMAFMelissa - The Meme Brain

“YESTERDAY’S SAINTS declare themselves “DC’s most intense band”, and I invite you all to examine this claim for yourselves.”

— Leja Siv Harju, Hails Webzine

“The metal/thrash band, Yesterday’s Saints, is a Washington DC-based group originally appearing on the metal scene in 2008. They’ve recently reformed with their original vocalist, Matt Rice along with guitarist Witt Black, Albert Born on drums and Phil D’Arcangelis on bass. Known for high-voltage, no remorse live shows, the group currently tours in support of a brand new EP with a full-length scheduled to drop later this year.”

— Free Time Magazine; Rochester, NY

“This is how these 4 guys (including the actual Pentagram's drummer Albert Born) present their band a there's not much to add, except to point that they have reason to be confident in their high potencial cause they display an high quality melodic yet very intense heavy/thrash metal, rather 80's typed. No doubt you'll read more about them here when the album is released”

— Stéphane le Soux, Temple of Perdition
