"What make this band so interesting is their talent to easily mix all the different sometimes unusual elements into their own unique and amazing style: only professional musicians can dare so much and succeed the prove completely. Sometimes to have a ‘zine can give great satisfactions like to discover and appreciate the existence of people who test the restrictions of the so called “normality”: now it’s time for you to try your limits, if you dare... "
- Down the wind zine
"It’s kind of like Bathory meets Pan Thy Monium"
- Edge of Time
"reminds me of Ophthalamia and at other odd moments throws Satyricon and a bit of Darkthrone in for measure. Their use of acoustic guitars, saxophone (!) and female vocals - plus the absence of keyboards - is quite tactful"
- Quadrivium / Cair andros
"Luckily Satans Penguins take their music rather seriously. It is atmospheric black metal, with acoustic breaks and a thin layer of atmospheric keyboards. The sarcasm is mostly limited to the lyrics."
- Vampire mag
"produce a sound that reminds me of a mixture of early Fleurety and Ved Buens Ende, taking less of a progressive / trippy vibe, and instead using a cold guitar sound [...] Most importantly, this album has a very fresh and innovative feel. From very bizarre drum arrangements to the cold and distinct guitar lines, it all comes together to flow madly towards oblivion [...] they just deliver a very original and fresh sound, some very strong song writing and some dark humour" - Gnosiszine
"it is really hard to give you the influences of the band 'cause Satans Penguins is really original and they try to compose avant-garde music. With original instruments and female vocals, Satans penguins releases a good debut CD, black-metal music with an avant-garde and classical step."
-Darkwave
"Played with skills and entertaining for the 44 minutes" - Brutalism
"The penguins manage to create a gloomy, misanthropic sound without over use of stupid intro's, keyboards and other such trapery!! There is of course that classic swedish sound on offer, combine this with Maiden-esque head bobbers, blast passages and the odd female vocal mixed in with the usual reverb soaked throaty screams. The overall sound is familiar to that of mid career Amorphis or early Opeth"
- Black Death Zine
-Excerpts from some reviews of the birds of darkness album (see http://satanspenguins.metalclub.se).
