Some press for\u00a0Reports From the Threshold of Death:<\/em>
\n\u25cf “Alluring and unsettling” – Alternative Press<\/p>\n

\u25cf\u00a0“Painting their songs with shades of Joy Division, A Perfect Circle, Tangerine Dream and Khoma….the record is steeped in potent darkness, and the further you slip into their world, the less you want to claw your way back out.” – Alternative Press<\/p>\n

\u25cf\u00a0“Often immersively fuck-yeah heavy, but always vocally discernible, thoughtful, melody-oriented and (gulp…) pretty.” – Decibel<\/p>\n

\u25cf\u00a0“Reports pulverizes both the necks and hearts of the death-obsessed” – Decibel<\/p>\n

\u25cf\u00a0“Reports from the Threshold of Death is an album with much to appreciate, plenty to take in and enough to keep the listener wanting to come back for more.” –\u00a0Decoymusic.com<\/a><\/p>\n

\u25cf\u00a0“If you are a fan of nu-wave, post-rock, post-metal, or pretty much post-anything, there’s little chance you won’t fall all over yourself loving this beast of an album.” –\u00a0ExplodingInSound.com<\/a><\/p>\n

\u25cf\u00a0“Simply stunning!” –\u00a0Metal-Army.com<\/a><\/p>\n

\u25cf\u00a0“it’s one of the prettier albums I’ve heard all year, one that approaches the unknown with optimism and elegance rather than theatrical melancholy.” –\u00a0MSN.com<\/a><\/p>\n

\u25cf\u00a0“Junius has met all expectations set by their debut with an album that is thought-provoking and challenging, yet ultimately very rewarding.” – Outburn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
