"This band is literally inventing (or QC-ing, if you think Mars Volta is, like, good) modern prog, pitting latter-day Don Caballero against emo, Radiohead, Live and Extreme to – finally – produce something Generation Zzz can be proud of and call its own. The hooks are tremendous, the arrangements are genius." - Eric W. Saeger, The Hippo
"'Obsidian' offers such artful balance, with the Vital Might stretching to cover the uptempo charge of 'These Strange Lives Inside' as well as dramatic sweep of 'Slow and Sound.' Tight song craft makes a bunch of the songs - 'Bird of Black Fire,' 'Fly In Form,' 'North of Bloody' - shine brightly for these rising Boston rockers. Judging by 'Obsidian,' that turned out to be a pretty good rule. The first single off of 'Obsidian' is 'Bird of Black Fire,' a richly layered song that boasts a loping 'White album'-style melody and fuzzy staccato beats wrapped around urgent, live-for-the-moment lyrics." - Scott McLennan, Worcester Telegram & Gazette
"The band cleverly fuses elements of rock and funk with just the right amount of pop to make a completely inviting new style. This progressive blend of various influences and strong sounds transcends music into a whole movement." - Aquarian Magazine
"THE VITAL MIGHT are proving they are a band to be reckoned with." - Shred, WBCN
"The band recorded a large chunk of Obsidian in a haunted theatre up in New Hampshire and dark, dingy, smoky rehearsal studios in Allston. I’m not sure which place was creepier but the result is magnificent. Thirteen songs that combine thundering percussion, massive guitars, and clever poetry, and create a sonic experience like no other." - Kier Byrnes, The Noise
"Andy Milk’s chameleon voice takes you on a journey that evokes Pink Floyd, Buckcherry, Tool and the Red Hot Chili Peppers...Now the Vital Might has a debut album, 'Obsidian,' that shows surprising emotional range. The single 'Bird of Black Fire' is roller-coaster intense, but 'Mist of Crystals' echoes Pink Floyd’s psychedelic melancholy." - Kerry Purcell, Boston Herald
