My sincerest thanks to William Faith for guidance, collaboration and most of all understanding who I am as an artist and making my vision a reality. This could not have been done without you.
A huge debt of gratitude to Michel Rowland and the team at UTM Music Group. Thanks to Evan Rubinson and everyone at Dean Guitars for years of TLC, Johnny at Daredevil Pedals, and Orange amplification.
John Terendy and Danielle Montana at Elektrocinetek for video nightmares.Marco Obaya & David Bates for believing in this enough to take it out live.
And thank you to those who have inflicted and/or contributed to the pain I’ve experienced thus far. It has taught me much and brought me to the place I am today.
Don’t ever give up what you are to prove that you love someone more than you love yourself. That is self-inflicted pain,
and you’ve rendered yourself unlovable.
No higher power will come to rescue you. Believe in yourself.

An absolutely blinding song (pun intended). From the opening bars to the catchy chorus this song reels you in and takes you on a journey. After a few rotations in the car it's become a real earworm! Dex McHenry

Well done guys!! Fondas Sumerson
Cinematic-scale goth from Reflection Black with catchy melodies, dreamy synths, punchy rhythms, and a sense of timelessness. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 21, 2023
A killer re-release of a rare solo post-punk LP from 1988 by the frontman of Taste of Decay and Garden of Pleasures. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 17, 2022

First full lenght album by the band, preceded by the two excellent EP's 'Fault Line' and 'Reflections'. In line with their now characteristic sound and influences, October Burns Black deliver a great collection of tracks whose spell is impossible to resist.
Classy and classic gothic rock at it's best. Dionysos Nyktelios
