“If Evanescence and In This Moment dominate your stereo, we’d like to present your new favorite band. – Idobi Radio
“A fine and courageous album from a band I have no doubt we will hear much more from.” – Hellbound
“Goth rock quintet Van Halst takes on feminism, body image and more with impressive debut.” – Beatroute (AB)
“Van Halst incites hope with World of Make Believe.” – Vue Weekly
“Van Halst’s World of Make Believe wants to educate” – Edmonton Journal
“Van Halst stand out among bands in their genre. Unafraid to explore the whole breadth of her musical talent.” – Loud Stuff
“Kami has one of those voices that could stop, or start an avalanche…Van Halst is the champion here. With uncomfortable socially conscious lyrics, sympathetic musical accompaniment, and stellar songwriting, World of Make Believe will turn more than a few heads and breed more than a few goose bumps.” – Glacially Musical
“From the opening track, it is clear that Kami Van Halst has a belter of a voice. Her vocals are powerful enough to hold their own even when the band is in full metal mode (and the band can go properly full metal) but she can also deliver a ballad with a gentle intensity. And she can scream!” – Moshville Times
“A very serious piece of work, skillfully put together and presented in a way that will keep your attention by taking surprising turns at every corner that somehow get visible in this fog surrounding us.” – Rock Music Raider
“Van Halst’s musical aesthetic is a mix of Joan Jett, Evanescence, The Pretty Reckless and Shinedown.” – Cailtin Crawshaw, Work of Arts Blog
