"Isolated from humanity and alone with snow, ice and wind. All in all, it's worth having this record in your collection or spinning on your turntable, because it's a unique listening experience that evokes memories of at least musically good times."

"[...] the music sounds honest, remains uncompromisingly true to its genre ("Attrition"), and is incredibly catchy. This is partly because the band from Bordeaux understands how to balance tempo, melody, and aggression so well that the individual tracks simply flow."

"Every track brings a new facet without losing the common thread, the lead work remains consistently strong, and the mixture of heaviness, melody and dark epic never seems overloaded. An LP that not only convinces, but shows that Thokkian Vortex clearly know what they are doing when it comes to individuality and compositional vision."

"Mit »No Safe Place« demonstrieren OPPRESSION eindrucksvoll, wie Black Metal heute klingen kann, wenn technische Versiertheit, atmosphärische Dichte und thematische Tiefe aufeinandertreffen. Die Kombination aus präziser Instrumentalarbeit, emotional aufgeladenem Gesang und durchdachter Komposition macht das Album zu einem Must-Have für Fans der Szene. .". [...]

"With UNCHAINED, a live feel was important to us. Even though everything was recorded separately, the spirit had to be preserved. The sound should combine the best of the previous albums – uncompromising, powerful, honest."

"The thickly smeared keyboard parts beneath them add an extra layer of grimy undertone. Of course, this KÆCK isn't something you should expect any kind of beauty prizes from, which also makes the other compositions on this record grimy and filthy, all to further enhance the chosen theme. [...] Dutch war Black Metal of the highest order!"

"The band ramp up the traumatic intensity again, but also create other dynamic diversions and additions, including desperately sizzling chords, haughty pronouncements (like some high priest of darkness), acrobatic rhythm-section adventures, and grand symphonic overlays that seem both celestial and catastrophic. Through it all, they don’t lose the distressing melodic thread, but bury it deeper and deeper in their listeners’ heads."

"Vertrackte Momente gibt es ebenso wie stumpfes Uffta Uffta Gepolter. Bösartiges Gebrate mischt sich mit harmonischen, fast verträumt wirkenden Melodien, und über allem steht der bösartig herausgekrächzte Gesang von Kaiaphas, der seine okkulten Ausführungen mit maximaler Aggression ins Mikro kotzt.".

LUCIFER LUCEM PROFERENS by Thokkian Vortex is a successful work that impresses with its dark, mystical atmosphere and successful instrumentation."

"It's not easy to pin down a frame of reference for KÆCK's music, which relies primarily on a rudimentary, less-is-more approach. The faster passages recall Impaled Nazarene's first full-length albums, while the slower work contains echoes of Gehenna's "First Spell," but with a touch of Hellenic mysticism and an industrial edge."

"The ten-minute track 'The Brazen Vessel Of Solomon' shines with atmospheric density, a dramatic structure, and instrumental playfulness ranging from doom to classic heavy metal. Furthermore, the song features a rather trippy interlude dominated by far-out keyboard sounds, somewhat reminiscent of Cradle of Filth on mushrooms."
