Siberia
"North's set was oozing with intensity from the impenetrable wall of guitars. They've got a new EP, 'Siberia,' that is both overwhelming and contemplative." -Isamu Jordan, Spokane 7 Magazine

"...for a debut release the passion and brutality of the music turns a few heads. Reports of the live show are nothing less than spectacular, and these two things in combination generally lead to a worthwhile debut album. With a full length due next year, this is a band to watch." - The Silent Ballet, Top 50 Instrumental Releases of 2007, Honorable Mention.

" ..."Siberia" is an elegant work but intense above all in virtue of a clear musical sight. If the American quartet continues this step we will hear of it still to speak." - Alessandro Bonetti, Kronic.it

"...it wouldn’t be a stretch to say North are probably the most engaging post-rock band I’ve come across since, let’s say, Pelican....Simply the finale of the closing track “Body Abandoned” would sway even the most close-minded listener." - Scott Irvine, Absolutepunk.net

"Moments of beautifully layered guitars and intricate melodies give way to walls of distorted riffs and a heaviness comparable to contemporaries such as Isis and Pelican" - Will Collicott, Decoymusic.com, Albums You May Have Missed (Instrumental/Post Rock Edition)

Ruins
"Tracks like "Nex in March" and "Ash" bury the listener in an swarm of aggressive riffs, rarely giving us time to gain a sense of bearing before the next wave is upon us. Over the course of thirty minutes the band doesn't release control of it dominating sound" - Jordan Volz, The Silent Ballet, Tracking the Trends: United States VI

"The opening track “The Black Gate” showcases a darker side and sets the mood for the following five tracks, which all seem to be somewhat morbid, yet beautiful all at once. The conclusion to the first song is an explosive attack of sludgy tones, and once the barrage is over, the following track’s beauty begins, where you’ll later bear witness to that one's angst." - Chris Pandolfo, Decoymusic.com, 4/5 stars.

"Crunching guitars which breathe like giants, dark gutteral bass lines, pummeling drums; Ruins encapsulates you in a wave of noise, aggression and emotion, relentless in its pursuit." - Ally Hendrie, Music With A Different Sound

"Crushing drop D chords turn to flying major scale arpeggios within seconds, these songs cover a whole range of sounds and emotions" - Ian Bishop, Progarchives.com

"Ruins plays on the intensity of our emotions to assert North, unquestionably, as a phenomenon marking of 2007 for a stage that they believed in sleep and which thunders again!" - Indiepoprock.net

What You Were
"“Ghosts Among Us” begins with a brooding guitar line that rises into a guttural scream, crashing cymbals and furious riffage; it's unrelenting in its assault and is a very promising start to this new dawn." - James Ould, The Silent Ballet, 7/10.

"Unlike many other mid-paced, heavy albums, "What You Were" does not seem to tire. The droning pace is perfect for the style of music..."Falling In Perpetuum" stands out as one of the better tracks. In addition to the heavy distortion and growls, this song manages at times to perfectly juxtapose an uplifting melodic tune with even more disparaging wails. Somehow, it works." - Doug "Deathbringer" Gibson, Metalunderground.com, 4/5 skulls.

"The absurd heaviness on What You Were sounds inhumane at times, this is an album which is pleading to be listened to on a speaker system just drenched in bass. North sound like a restless band for sure, creating narratives of everyday stress and strain through their music. This is a well made album which is heavy as hell, and one which finds space for softer sentiments as well. Hold on to your hats, because this one is absolutely massive." - Ally Hendrie, Music With A Different Sound, 4/5 stars.

"Punishing, dynamic, and heavy as all hell" - Alternative Press Magazine, 3 and a half out of 5 stars.

"this band is off-the-radar, alright, but not the kind of off-the-radar where the radar device beeps angrily. It's the good kind." Wonka Vision Magazine.

"beautifully textured riffs rolling out over an expansive plain of post-rock experimentation, ready to spiral into the ether before a battery of flayed-raw vocal torment and turbulent rhythms bring things crashing back towards the earth's core." Decibel Magazine 7/10.

"Much of what sets them apart lies with Kyle Hardy’s desperate, animalistic growls and shouts, which sound impassioned and honest, and not like a guy doing his best to just get by. Check his near-death gurgling on “Falling in Perpetuum” and “Veiled in Light,” which has rows and rows of sharp, mangling teeth."- Brian Krasman. Pittsburgh Daily News 3/5 stars.

"There's a sinister vibe to the band's third release, What You Were, which slams down twisted guitars like a carnival sledgehammer attraction" - Jordan Baker, PastePunk.com

"I smoke weed to this shit, baby!" - God

"If ever you've thought that Pelican would be way more engaging with a dudeman hollering over the triumphant peaks and valleys of their songs (I have), this might appeal -- vocalist Kyle Hardy's monochrome gut-scream gives North an admonishing edge to rough up the pretty riff-doilies" - Etan Rosenbloom. Cerebral Metalhead.

"the combination of eerily haunting interludes, wonderfully overwhelming charges of echoing riff reverb, and its powerful metal foundation make for a fabulous addition to your album collection" - Pernell. SkylinePress.net 9/10.

"The record's true opener, "Ghosts Among Us," builds tension with ominous bass notes before launching into a dynamic section of melodic guitar leads layered over thick chord progressions. "Falling in Perpetuum" is perhaps North's most melodic effort, as it concludes with the delay-soaked tremolos that Explosions in the Sky has driven into the heads of fans of post-prefixed bands everywhere. And "Veiled in Light," with its slightly plodding nature and strong keyboard presence will certainly be easy to swallow for followers of Mouth of the Architect." - Nick. Lambgoat.com 6/10.

"Kyle Hardy delivering a stellar performance with his giant bellow and the rest of the northerners dropping heavy weight riffs and massive grooves" - DeafSparrow.com 3 and a half out of 5 sparrows.

"After two records of Pelican worship, the sextet's third LP added bad-cop-only mouthpiece in Kyle Hardy, and the riffage got rabid. Other than a few well-timed, delay soaked interludes, What You Were is all onslaught, smartly detonating triumphant melodies beneath the collapse and crush." - Andrew Bonazelli, Decibel Magazine. 37 in Decibel Magazine's top 40 extreme albums of 2008.

"There's more, much more, to Christmas Than candlelight and cheer; It's the spirit of sweet friendship That brightens all year. It's thoughtfulness and kindness, It's hope reborn again, For peace, for understanding, And for goodwill to men!"
I wish you a merry Christmas and happy new-year!!
