Press

“Zatokrev thrash it out with a bluntness that most death metal bands could kill for. A unique band, and now there’s no excuse to miss them anymore. [4/5]”

— JOSÉ CARLOS SANTOS, Terrorizer (UK)

“Everything they do sounds immense, drenched in darkness, and eerily hypnotic.”

— Kerrang! (UK)

““The Bat, The Wheel And The Long Road To Nowhere” is a very vast album that is brutal yet engaging all at once. A masterful work. By Chris Tippell”

— thisisnotascene.com

“Während man bei vielen anderen Bands oftmals den Eindruck haben muss, sie leide lediglich für die Plattenfirma, so braucht man bei den Baselern ZATOKREV nichts dergleichen zu befürchten, denn so intensiv und von innen heraus, wie die vier Schweizer ihren Gefühlen freien Lauf lassen, kann es kaum möglich sein, dass da irgend etwas gespielt ist... ...Alles stimmt, und die 14 Punkte sollten mit einer deutlichen Tendenz zur 15 zu verstehen sein. Man möchte allerdings noch etwas Luft nach oben lassen, denn wer weiß, wozu die Truppe noch fähig ist...? 14/15”

“Zatokrev have just appeared on my radar peeps and I can assure you that if you like the Sludge genre then this band has delivered an album that is a must for your collection.”

— rocknreelreviews.com (SCO)

“THE BAT, THE WHEEL AND A LONG ROAD TO NOWHERE ist genau das Richtige für den nächsten viel zu sonnigen Sommertag: Danach sehnt man sich nach wärmenden Strahlen. Und wie.”

— Björn Springorum, Metal Hammer (DE)

“Zatokrev have produced a record that attends to all of a sludge metal fans needs and more. It has all the atmospheric and trance educing moments combined with fantastic degrees of vocal and musical variation.”

— planetmosh.com

“The band managed to fuse their great musicianship with something so unique and outstanding that is beyond my acquired knowledge to explain.”

— metal-temple.com

“The result is one mean and vicious record, despite that mouthful of a title and the rather off-putting length – some of these songs sprawl over 10 minutes each - ‘The Bat…’ clocks in at an unreasonable 73 minutes, but all the more credit to the band for not letting the momentum drop at any point.”

— JOSÉ CARLOS SANTOS, Terrorizer
