“Winter Hours absolutely crushes…As good as this album is, though, it’s a safe bet that Hill and his band are only just getting started.” – POPMATTERS.com
“among the best of an impressive cadre of heavy bands emerging now” – PHILADELPHIA WEEKLY
“Theirs is a sound you can get totally lost in” – PITCHFORK
“Winter Hours is a monstrous crash landing of an album, its energy attuned and acute, possessing a grievous sludge dimension in which songs are not much played as attached and bloodied riffs are strewn indiscriminately like torn body parts…a debut of great distinction.” – ROCK-A-ROLLA
“a captivating jet-roar of smoked-out sludge and impactful metallic hardcore” – TERRORIZER
“A dark and impressive achievement.” – METAL HAMMER
“It's very rare that a band can be so profound and prolific at the same time…Winter Hours successfully surpasses the high watermark of their introduction and obliterates the conception of the sophomore jinx.” – EXCLAIM
