“the song (All Sights Affixed, Ablaze) delivers is dark, dynamic music performed with a lot of impressive instrumental flair, a deft balance of memorable melody and scathing aggression, and the kind of vocals you can understand — at the same time as they are gnashing voraciously through flesh and bone.” – No Clean Singing
“one listen of this track (All Sights Affixed, Ablaze) and you’ll find all sorts of influences and shifts in tone, but it’s all dark and weighty. ” – Yell Magazine
“Throughout it all: the wailing guitar. I keep coming back to that sound that paints the dominant colors here in the picture that is All Sights Affixed, Ablaze. The guitar solos and leads are the real “vocals,” while the harsh yells and screams provide nearly instrumental texture in support. I don’t usually give away spoilers but this album has just an epic finish. Make this the last music you hear before heading outside on a dark, crisp night. You’ll feel the air differently.” Metal Storm
” This is extreme experimental Metal Canadian style; it sits menacingly across the chasm between death and black reinforced by its own innovative edge. It’s dark and dynamic with a good balance between melody and aggression, the vocals are harsh and scathingly raw yet clearly definable but the unique edge for me is the high melody that has a skilled off kilter edge and it’s the combination between these two that gives this album appeal by the truckload an aspect that runs the entirety of the release.” – Metal Talk
“the band creates an imposing and immersive soundscape of extreme metal which comes with a blackened heart and experimentally fuelled provocation. It is a fiercely challenging and rewarding confrontation as evidenced by the band’s debut album All Sights Affixed, Ablaze, eight individual torments which align for one grievous and pestilential seduction of ears and imagination.” – Ring Master Reviews
“Idol Of Fear is sure to blind you with their depressive black metal and mentally torment your inner spirit, all the while you’re reminded of your dark past. The guys in Idol of Fear play a tripped out and weird style of depressive black metal, more akin to the likes of The Chasm, Nachymystium and Norwegian stalwarts The Shining…a well-produced album and definitely brings forth the band’s playing to the point where you can feel their ungodly misery and torture.” – Explicitly Intense
