Reviewers and other friendly web-publications:
The Muse's Muse
"The Pax Cecilia has created an album that reconfigures the possibilities of ambient, art-rock and progressive metal, making it sound beautiful, menacing and refreshingly new as they do it. Blessed are the Bonds is one of the few pieces of art that transcends definition, and transforms nothing more than twelve notes into a musical force that will reveal something different with each listen. For an album that will only cost you an hour, this is nothing short of a masterpiece."
Sputnik Music
"I haven't been stirred by an album like this in a long long time. There is a divine power boiling inside of Blessed Are the Bonds that makes it feel like the stars are aligning..."
Maelstrom Online
"Blessed are the Bonds is an album that reassures people that music is actually art. The hold this album has on your emotion is almost exquisite, as it runs the gamut from sublime to disheartening..."
Deaf Sparrow Zine
"Blessed Are the Bonds is one of those ambitious records that travels through foreign and uncharted territories, conquering all and in the end coming home triumphant..."
Metal Review
"I’ve simply run out of great things to say about this band and this album, and frankly I’m not sure there are enough words to do it justice."
"I just stood in awe of the majestic metal ambient awesomeness."
- John Stepp
Strapping Young Chad is right, your music does change lives. It's been 4 years since I saw you guys play and I still listen to you on a regular basis. I don't think I can say that about any other band that I saw at a random local show that long ago.
Are you guys still playing shows? I havnt seen you in forever! let me know when and where, so i can see you guys again! It would also be great if you could please sign into Beatport and spin my Tiesto remix!
Thanks so much, and hope to talk to you soon!
Electronically yours,

I really do love your sound. You guys have been all I've been listening to for the past week or so. Truly thoughtful music. Wonderful. Thank you for adding me.
These guys do it, and they do it good. Blessed are the bonds is a really multigenre piece of art, from metal and screamo to acoustic and post-rock. Amazing music really, they have grown alot from their first album (which i can upload on your request, but its not even near blessed are the bonds, thats something you should know).
Thanks for the add!! We hope you are enjoying our new EP, you can add it to your playlist or download it free thru our page. Drop us a line and let us know if you like it or for whatever else is on your mind!! Thanks and Keep It Killer!!
