“…with influences of Metalcore, Melodic Death, Thrash and hardcore elements …The epic “Medusa” builds a magnificent tension …With this bold production, one wonders how come the band has still no record label to be able to draw attention. Knockturn Alley clearly shows that Malta is more than summer, sun, beach. “Medusa” is probably a small pearl, which was ashore waiting for us to enjoy its beauty.” 7.5/10 -

“They move with confidence and ease from one assault Metalcore Thrash Metal and a fairly smooth and rhythm… Reverie, The Sinner-The Martyr and Deadly Twist Of Fate summarize perfectly what are the stylistic movements of Knockturn Alley, that riff is not too fast, but well constructed and full of groove. A compliment must be done even to those who are employed in the specific production, given its high level of professionalism, a quality more than makes Medusa a product in a strong position to compete in today’s market, where a label decides to put money and time.” 7.5/10 -

“These brute Maltese have peaked with American bigshots like Darkest Hour, and Lamb Of God, and they like to turn up both volume and speed ...the riff in opening song ‘Under A God-like Sun’ gives a fresh Southern-rock view on Swedish melodic death metal that I had not heard before. On top of that ‘Medusa’ is beautifully packaged and the whole record breathes professionalism. It seems weird that no label has picked this up yet, In the case of Knockturn Alley, this should only be a matter of time.” 75/100 -
