“Satan's Grin is a masterclass in sonic despair. Ironside crafts a bleak, sludge-filled atmosphere that pulls you under. "The Decline" stands as the EP's crown jewel: a sprawling, doom-laden monolith that crawls with malevolent intensity. Every track feels like a descent into the abyss, marked by hypnotic distortion and jagged, biting melodies. It’s haunting, heavy, and meticulously crafted. If you crave music that shakes your core and refuses to let go, this is your next obsession...”

“Grab a bottle & get down with the sludgeness. Gravelly vocals aids menacing guitar work & power paced drums. Sometimes slow & dank, then switches to more upbeat rhythms, like the Pogues on acid. Check out the video for Satan’s Grin, the visuals really complement the atmosphere.”
“All three tracks on the EP are excellent. Great old school sludge and doomy metal. Great use of the instruments of metal! Vocals are interesting, no Rob Halford here but they fit the music just fine. I can almost imagine Butthead copying them as he watches the video with Beavis. Definitely worth the £3.”

“Bad ass proto metal in the vein of Motörhead, Venom, and other heavy British greats. The recording is raw and saturated - something this particular flavor of rock lends itself well to.”
