“Signs of Chaos are an amazingly talented and hard working band that have been staples in Ottawa’s metal scene for many years. This album is an excellent demonstration of what this band does best: KICK FUCKING ASS !” – The Ottawa Epitaph – Album Reviews
“I often wonder just how it is that a band that is this good remains unsigned? … ‘Rise’ is like getting a blast of fire as you go about sticking your head into a furnace! … like ‘Holy cat in the hat Batman!’ if this metal doesn’t come off as the the very definition of the word ‘heavy’ then I don’t know what would!” – Heavy Metal Time Machine: Signs of Chaos
“They’re one of those unique bands that you could show your kvlt friend, and girlfriend to all at the same time without the fear of either being cast out as a poser, or not getting laid.” – Shy Guy Assassin – Guest Column: Three Bands You May Not Know But Should
