Reviews of Misanthropic Slaughter:
"Misanthropic Slaughter" reflects a band fully shed of any stylistic overlaps; Masaki's gravelly rasp has been honed to a gritty, saw blade edge
very much his own, and the music screams not of mimicry but intelligent adoration of the immortal rip and shred. A- Brian Davis www.Metaleater.com
"Of all the unsigned bands I've heard over the last 3 years or so, they are without a doubt the band that has it all together..." Rated 9 out of 10 Scott, www.Hookinmouth.net
"...this is some of the best Oldschool Thrash Metal I've heard in a long time...It's incredible how an unsigned band like this manages to sound
better than lots of signed bands." Rated 9 out of 10, Guido, Dose of Metal
