"First and foremost, one must acknowledge the talents and uniqueness of Bölzer. The band perform with technical skill and precision, concocting an oddball formula of progressive blackened death. Littered with strange harmonies and a sinister, almost ritualistic vibe, Lese Majesty sounds more urgent, feral and stripped back, embracing Bölzer's raw, barbaric roots and cutthroat execution. Despite the stripped-back approach, Bölzer remain an ambitious act not afraid to flex their progressive muscles, unleashing strange melodies and ambient indulgences within unconventional song structures. The album itself is a compact package, consisting of four tracks and a shade under half hour of music. Considering the tendency for Hero to sound bloated and self-indulgent, this more concise approach is a welcome one".
