    "The 2 guitarist assault with dual harmonizing showed the musical telepathy between these guys, who are also brothers. We’re talking some heavy metal, like the solos you’d hear from Iron Maiden, but these guys have their own thing going on."......"Some bands rehash the style of their influences. With Valkyrie, they just play the music as it was back when music wasn’t categorized in 300 different ways, and all that mattered was to plug in and play with conviction and soul.".. - Stonerrock.com.... "There is no pretension, no posturing, no overreaching, no contrivance and no over-deliberation- it's clear that the spontaneous expressions contained within are natural and personal." .. - Diabolical Conquest.com.... "The guitar work of Jake & Pete Adams here speaks of men who, like the best in any field, transcend genres to make a complete work of their own. Wonderful stuff." .. - Ray Dorsey's Chaos Realm.... "somewhere between straight-ahead NWOBHM and strictly psychedelic.".. -Hellride Music.com.... "Their true gift is the extended jam section... taking songs into completely unexpected directions and then wowing us with genius riffs and some wailing solos. What the Adams brothers do with their guitars... is nothing to sneeze at. " ..-smother.net.... "With an appeal that is undeniable, and songs which retain their bite and shine through countless spins, Valkyrie are destined to make a name for themselves within the hallowed halls of Doom. ".. - Metal George, ultimatemetal.com....

    Hello, I saw Baroness when they came to Nagoya last October. Please come back as Valkyrie. I think you rock harder than Baroness do.

    I know I told you this yesterday, but you guys KILLED it last night! You were easily the highlight of the whole show for me. It looked like all of you were just having a blast, it was a lot of fun to watch. I will spread the word about how awesome you guys are, and I hope you guys come back around the Chicago area soon. Thanks again for a fantastic show!

    P.S. Man of Two Visions is probably my favorite album of the year so far :)
