Head-Banger Reviews (U.S.):
"The album that black-doom metal has been sorely needing, Lightless does far more than live up to its potential with its massive forthcoming album."

Norwegian Metal (NO)
"The album leaves a rattling pleasant aftertase, which will be intriguing not only for fans of black and doom metal, but also for all fans of heavy music with dark, sensual and depressive playing."

Wonderbox Metal (U.K.)
"Prepare yourself for one of the best damn blackened doom metal records that's reared itself up from the sludgy underworlds for a long time."

Zephyr's Odem (DE)
"Lightless impressively showcase their blend of sludge/funeral doom/dark/black metal on their debut album "A Foreseen Loss", and set to shake up the game in this subgenre. Competitioners should brace themselves. (8.2/ 10)"

Metal Integral (FR)
"Each track is composed of a series of movements that draw you as they unfold into an altered state of consciousnes (...) They surround you, oppress you, envelop you, subjugate you, and you can't stop them. The experience is totally immersive in this constantly shifting sonic environment."

Outlaws Of The Sun (U.K.)
"The deeply engaging and brilliant emphasis on environmental themes allows A Foreseen Loss to be an unnerving and unforgiving experience (...) nothing short of spectacular with different levels of Prog Metal, Extreme Metal and intense Sludge Metal vibes making this record truly a product of the wonderful underground metal scene."

Metal Division Magazine (DE)
"The album has its class and features some great songs, but you have to work hard to get into it. There are only a handful of bands that manage to immerse the listener in the atmosphere of the music from beginning to end. (8 / 10)"

Voices From The Darkside (DE)
"LIGHTLESS is bleak and dismal as they come and their sound just conveys that to you with such massive intensity. With just three instruments and vocals [...], but damn can they utilize that starkness in such a powerful and emotive manner."

Transcended Music (DE)
"A foreseen Loss comes with whopping 80 minutes of world ending Sludge. The four tracks all clock in around the 20 minute mark and each one of them could be a story in its own. Dive into it, get pulled in by it and find your Sludge Metal highlight in it."

Metalstorm (EST)
"There are times when you'll perhaps feel frustrated, wishing they'd speed things up slightly, and the songs might not vary or progress as much as some listeners would like, but the point here is that A Foreseen Loss is a long, powerful and emotional journey that's something you have to deeply feel, rather than just listen to."

Metal Eclipse Reviews
"Lightless channels its bleak sonic landscapes into a form of protest against societal decay, environmental collapse, and the inevitable downfall of humanity. Its lyrics are not merely introspective or existential; they are a deliberate confrontation with the destructive trajectory of modern civilization."

FFM-Rock (DE)
"An intensely brutal melancholy trip to the depths of human existence that doesn't mince words, transforming intense mourning into depression and occasionally budding hope into primal destruction."
