Reception edit

Ten tracks, heavier, more consistent, more mature… it was worth the wait for sure!…

— Rock Tribune Magazine 2013

…this band sounds awesome almost “un-Dutch”…

— Aardschok magazine 2013

…great heavy grooves, tight riffs and overall terrific catchy songs…

— LiveXS magazine 2013

…this band can make it big! 90/100

— ZwareMetalen

This band deserves a breakthrough, which gives the dying Female fronted Metal scene a real kick in the butt with White Crow! 4.5/5
