| "A 'Vicious Alliance' usually means whoever is teaming up is doing so to annihilate the competition, this band is no exception. Combining elements of the harshest vocals with the sweetest melodies is just one trick they have up their sleeves. Crushed By The System is a promise, not a threat."
- Jacob Wendlandt, Dark Twin Cities
"Vicious Alliance are a TerrorEBM band and proud of it...inspired by the likes of Tactical Sekt and Agonoize, they hit all the familiar points without straying too far from their influences. However, they manage to create a sound that's distinctive enough to be recognizable as their own."
- Matthew J., Grave Concerns E-zine
"Vicious Alliance is TerrorEBM with a twist. The female vocals complement the harsh male vocals and give this EP added dimension. I can’t wait to play some of these tracks in the clubs."
- Mike Kieffer, Auxiliary Magazine
"Vicious Alliance has a hell of a lot of ambition, put to good use and executed with no shortage of talent or passion. Without a doubt one of the best releases this year. It's hard to belive this band is as new as they are."
- Angie Pardue, They Fell Webzine
"It's apparent that this band has a message it is trying to get across that appears to not only be genuine, but passionate. The tracks "Ice Age (2008)" and "Cannon Fodder" have the potential to become standout club hits as both have strong vocals and very danceable beats."
- John Galope, Re:gen Magazine
"If this EP is any indication, prepare to have all of your terror ebm albums rendered irrelevant once the full length drops. All fans of terror, download this immediately. For people who have found themselves irreparably let down by shoddy ebm, give this a try and it might restore your faith a bit."
- Dan Barrett, Wounds of the Earth Webzine
"It plays on like your standard dark EBM band should with all the similar formula. Adding a little bit of flavour is sporadic female vocals, unlike previous acts of same ilk these vocals are much better sounding kinda almost like a darker Azoic."
- DJ 23, Side-Line Review
"A solid debut EP and one of the most passionate and energetic live bands you'll find in this scene. Don't let the “terror” label put you off, because there's more to this band than the cookie-cutter goblin vocals, formulaic songwriting, and complete lack of originality that have been plaguing the harsh side of EBM for quite some time. Vicious Alliance are off to one hell of a strong start and it's a safe bet that we'll be hearing plenty of good things to come from them in the future."
- DJ Totentanz, MODE Mondays
