“Who the hell needs a BLACK SABBATH reunion when the heirs to the throne boast as they do? On “The Mouths Of Madness” ORCHID show riffing of such brilliancy that it would even make Mr. Iommi himself blush...” // Peter Engelking, ROCKS Germany
“With “The Mouths Of Madness”, ORCHID deliver a retro metallic bombardement par excellance that couldn't be more dangerous, intense or pervasive – that's what the sons of BLACK SABBATH sound like!” // Chris Grenzer, ROCK IT Germany
“In short: this “all killer, no filler“ album sets the course for a real break through!” // Dominik Winter, ZILLO Germany
“There's barely any other band these days that delivers more credible music than ORCHID from San Francisco do! Buy it!” // Johannes Paul Köhler, LEGACY Germany
”This album delivers elemental songs that prove to be cult soon!” // Jürgen Tschamler, CLASSIC ROCK Germany
“Not even BLACK SABBATH will be able to beat this album!” // Oliver Weinsheimer, KEEP IT TRUE Festival
„The true heir of BLACK SABBATH. Close your eyes and imagine to be in 1971, this is the real deal, retro rock at its best“ // Stefano Cerati, ROCK HARD Italy
“ORCHID should have a gold-medal for keeping this excellent type of music alive and kicking. This is the real thing.“ // Jakob Schultz, METALIZED Denmark

“ORCHID is MORE SABBATH than BLACK SABBATH! Here is a band who is re-paving the 1970's back into your cold dead heart. Throw back a pint, smoke up, and dig out your bell-bottoms kids, ORCHID is here to eat your children.“ // Mike D, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE
