David Fischer Vthelygmia was an experience of being slaughtered, gutted, and disintegrated completely. Apechtheia commences after all that has taken place: having the band feast on your hacked remains, adorning their attires with dismembered limbs and bloody entrails, sacrificing still sufficiently recognisable organs to eldritch deities far beyond comprehension. Voraciously violent black death metal for the sick in the first two tracks, and a sonically incarnate dark ascencion in Repression. Ultra-gnarly! Favorite track: Misery. Decline. Death..

Paul (The Owl/ripper) It took me about 3 seconds to know I was gonna be into this one! Massive production, but still filthy, blasting, monstrous vocals, rage. Nice, thank you!

j-kep Devastating grind-tinged blackened death that's oppressive and inescapably dark. Like running from a monster you know will eventually catch and crush you no matter what you do. Highly recommended. Favorite track: Misery. Decline. Death..

Darknight Freaking love CHESTCRUSH!!! The music is bleak, miserable, suffocating and full of intense darkness, pray you don't get swallowed up by this heaviness. Favorite track: The Despiser.

"CHESTCRUSH have produced what might be one of the finest- if not darkest- black metal albums of the year." [8/10]
- Metal-temple.com

"This is liquid darkness for your ears and brain and once you get a touch of it, it won’t let you go. Contestant for album of the year? You’re fucking right!"
- VM-underground.com

"up there with some of the most intense released this year, it seems that for a band whose starting point is already at “head stuck in the boiler room furnace’ mode”, they know how to make songs that don’t reduce that feeling to a bland “normal”
- Nocleansinging.com

"Come for the suffocating miasma of hideous darkness in the first two tracks, stay for the uneasy existential introspection of the third"
- Noobheavy.com

"Chestcrush continues to impress. There’s no doubt in my mind that they are one of the more interesting blackened death metal outfits in the current era"
- Sleepingvillagereviews.com

"Another slab of depravity that haunts the darkened corridors of the mind in a world in which there is no light and no hope" [8/10]
- Metalnoise.net

"Chestcrush is one of those bands you struggle to review just because of the sheer power of the grinding death they produce, but if you want total annihilation for the neighbours then make this your choice for destruction."
- Metalforcesmagazine.com

Everything about this just feels so HEAVY, in the most morbid and galaxial ways"
- Thoseonceloyal.wordpress.com

"Another damn good release from the Scots. Blackened death lead of the very thick caliber"
- Fullmetalmayhem.wordpress.com

"Another great sounding recording from Chestcrush and if you are a fan of post black, sludge, death metal and grindcore, you should check this out"
[8/10]
- Darkdoomgrinddeath.blogspot.com

"In one second you’ll get into a grinder while the next step just slowly stretches you until you rip apart"
- Transcendedmusic.de

"Chestcrush do more than just deliver horrific death metal: the music is a mighty blackened death metal beast with grind / ambient noise / near industrial / sludge elements"
- Metal-archives.com

"A deadly EP that smashes you right in the face from beginning to end with blast beats and the sickest sludge vocals"
- mfknzine.com
