"Their stonernaut's message to Earth in Back From The Abyss may appear to be somewhat generic fare, yet it continues to be delivered with such poise and know-how that the presentation here belies the exceptionally astute musicianship. After all, they've been to the Abyss and back to deliver what is a nicely varied track list that finds them as a clearly identifiable outlier in their metallic sub-genre's ilk. Take the beast "Bloodzilla" as the perfect exemplification of the band's brand. With a devastatingly rolling rhythm and up-tempo forward drive, a backing guitar screech cleverly projects an image for the lyrical line "Lightning strikes," a fun minimal feature to have listeners grinning from ear to ear".

"Back From the Abyss is a solid album, listenable, somewhat memorable, and will hopefully serve the purpose to get new fans to discover who this band is and why they are important to the a genre that many do not realize has a rather deep history between old Sabbath and latest Pallbearer. Turn this one on, crank it up and enjoy, even detractors cannot help but bob yours heads".
