"It’s a potent combination of black metal, progressive metal, and heavy, grinding doom — ominous, perilous, and mesmerizing."
- No Clean Singing
"The heaviness of the compositions is presented all over the release, naturally jumping from one genre to another in a matter of seconds. It all sounds that the works were carefully put together, but still spontaneous."
- Metal Maniac
"Fell Ruin show splendidly that you don’t always have to be so fucking obscure, murky and dissonant to produce intelligent-sounding Blackened Death Metal with truly magickal qualities."
- Adornments of The King
"Fell Ruin’s ‘Devices’ showcases a decadent, murk-filled death metal album drawing on some solid stereotypes to fulfill an album with intensity, mystique while bringing in some of doom’s greater influences to deepen every theme, every riff and every steady drum passage."
...sift through the shit and Fell Ruin’s 2015 record will stand above the mess, ready for you deathly enjoyment.
- The Sonic Sensory
"A dark revelation of uncomfortable truths."
- Wonderbox Metal
