Sounds Like
Main comparisons are Cephalic Carnage, Cryptopsy, early Carcass, Gorguts, Discordance Axis, Narcosis. Think very tech-grind-sludgey-groovy-death metal, now with added black metal and slam influences as well in the new songs. Described as one of the most catchy grind bands around!
NINEHERTZ WEBZINE - ‘Precursors’ could easily be placed alongside works by genre stalwarts such as Cephalic Carnage, Cryptopsy and Discordance Axis.
DIABOLICAL CONQUEST WEBZINE - ..a thick, neatly woven, tightly fitting woolly Grindcore body bag, which uses Relapse Records stitching methods to knit the fetching garment.
LINK 2 WALES FORUM - ..a feel of relentless car-crash carnage.
BORN IN BLOOD WEBZINE 5/5 - Reth are one of the best, if not the best grind band about today and this release will be heralded as a classic in the future.
DIE SHELLSUIT DIE ZINE - Precursors..." is a damn fine impressive slab of technical, grinding extremity.
METAL TEAM UK - This truly illustrates British Underground metal at its most savage.
DERANGED EPIDEMIC - This CD is an enjoyable slab of chaotic spazzy death grind, the soundtrack to a firework party in a bomb factory.
TERRORIZER MAGAZINE 7.5/10 - (Reth) craft something that wouldn't look out of place on Galy Records' discordant, Attention Deficity death/grind roster.
TERRORIZER COVERMOUNT CD - If Leeds grind loons Reth have, in fact, never had the pleasure of being locked in a burning Victorian asylum, one can only marvel at this note perfect rendition of what such time-travelling tragi-horror would almost certainly sound like.
SPLATTERED ZONE 5 Stars out of 6 ...remind me of SOILENT GREEN / Power Violence Metal with Grind education.
LOAD OF NOISE Printed Zine - As subtle as a jar of hydrochloric acid flung into a child’s face. Reth are a true UK force to be reckoned with on the worldwide scene.
UNBOUND ZINE 4 skulls out of 5 - ...this UK based band is a whirlwind of blasting drums, roaring vocals and intricate riffs ...the songs are actually memorable as well.
MASTERFUL MAGAZINE - ...frantic tempo changes, explosive sense of dynamics and frankly disturbing vocal lines. Reth have delivered an admirable debut with this album and they are definitely a band to keep an eye upon.
KERRANG MAGAZINE 3 K's - Supreme Musical Ugliness from Yorkshire Grinders! There is something truly uncomfortable about the way this adamantly refuses to allow your attention to wander elsewhere.
LEGIONS OF STEEL REVIEW - This is brutally intense and an example of grindcore at it’s best.
ZERO TOLERANCE MAGAZINE 4/6 - Tight blistering performances, tempo and vocal variation, and a significant amount of inventive touches.
GRINDING THE APPARATUS 8/10 - This record is one of the most pleasing grind concoctions in recent history. Reth is a wholly new and confident venture in the grind genre. A defining grind act to watch.
UNDERGROUND INDUSTRIES - Very catchy riffs that will stick in your head all day, yet are still head crushingly brutal and technically excellent. Definitely the best 16 minutes of pummelling death/grind the UK has to offer right now!
i make sick ass intros and outros samplework for metal bands,i currently trade work for merch if i like your band enough! which i definately do when it comes to you so if your working on any new material youd like some sick as sample work for or even just an intro to play at shows it would be sick if we could work something out
