“There is a sense that Observance has lots more to it that I could describe but, in the end, there is no getting away from how gloriously bleak it is. Although I would hazard a guess that for some this barrage of hopelessness would be too much, I doubt anyone familiar with PM is coming to this record expecting spade after spade of positivity.”

“Modern masterpiece of atmospheric death sludge”
“Heavier than an M1 Abrams rolling over your foot. Fuck me, this is oppressive. Then again, it's Primitive Man so I knew what I was getting myself into.”

“I always loved the brutal sound of Primitive Man, but the previous record was sort of "one note" for me (quite literally). I love that Observance has much more variety. In combination with the sonic side its beautifully devastating.”

“Primitive Man have always impressed me, but have not drawn me in for repeated listens. This is the album I was unknowingly always hoping they would make. Observance is crushingly heavy, obviously, but the music does more than just crush. It seeps into you, slowly and maliciously. The massive death-style vocals bellow over the guitars, the reverb, the drums, the atmosphere, or whatever it is, all of it enveloping you but in no rush to reach a conclusion, only to smother. That sounds nice, right?”
