Subbacultcha have reviewed the Moments In Time debut album and given it 9/10.
Here is a quote:
“As good as anything Peter Murphy, Joy Division or Nine Inch Nails ever did. This is epic, sweeping music with a great big core that bursts with unstoppable energy and unstoppable momentum. Intrepid and classic AOG front-man Duncan Robert Illing filters both the spirit of Murphy and Curtis in his own booming, unique vocal – and turns his voice into as much an instrument. Drown in its beauty and depth. Do it, do it now…”.
Thanks for your support Subbacultcha.
We have had some great feedback and words of support from the press recently for the release of our debut album Moments In Time
Here is a taste if you have not seen these before:
“Flair and creativity has gone into every song. Stunning vocals and array of musical talent throughout. ‘Damaged’ would not feel out of place on a number of British 80’s releases but the band have somehow reinvented this distinct sound into something of their very own. ‘Moments in Time’ is a strong debut, full of passion and individuality… the band should be proud of such a fantastic first release. 8/10”
— Bring The Noise
“Oceans Of The Heart. Love + Rockets. Psychedelic Furs. This is the general idea. If you like that kind of darker-edged syntho-based semi-goth thing, then this song’s worth a listen.”
— Bottom Of The Glass (Blog)
“An exercise in unbridled eclecticism. Impressive 7/10”
— Rock Sound
“Oceans Of The Heart – Track of The Day”
— Classic Rock
“There are some cracking tracks here. The sparse ‘Into The Night’ has a relentless bass hook which culminates in a heartbeat that could be a perfect, chilling soundtrack to the next Blade film. Favourite tracks though are the industrial ‘Hot White Sun’ with its overdriven guitars brings the Sisters Of Mercy to mind, and the percussion led ‘Heart Of It All’. ‘Moments In Time’ is a good album, and considering it’s predominantly the work of one man, quite an achievement. 7/10”
— Punk Rock Ist Nicht Tot
“Architects Of Grace could find a warm reception for their nocturnal cinematic rock. They bloom from a highly appealing Cure copy into a startling, subtle entity. This album may not grab so much as grow. A perfect candidate to inject new life into the post-punk dark fascination”
— AAA Music
“It’s an extraordinary descent into the darkly decadent; an electro-rock storm that consumes the senses. Accompanying the single is this darkly atmospheric video, which has already caused an online storm in publications such as Clash, Artrocker Magazine (online) and Alter The Press”
— Entertainment Focus
“Shrouded in the kind of gloomy, brooding promotional aesthetic one might associate with a Donnie Darko soundtrack, Architects of Grace should be a study in synth-pop miserablism. Me? I hear more Psychedelic Furs than Depeche Mode in the four bright, pulsating minutes of forthcoming single ‘Reflection’ (released 4 April). Illing’s words and intonation avoid both goth-mawkishness and bitter romantic platitudes, forging through the murky flail of ringing guitars to suggest something hopeful, if not necessarily contented.”
— The Popscene
“Vocalist Duncan Robert Illing sounds like a cross between Ian Curtis and David Bowie at times, and while perhaps not the most original sound this is still a pretty solid effort.”
— The Music Fix
“Artist Picks on the 405”
— The 405
“Reflection video feature / single release nears, look out”
— Clash
“Recalling the drama of early Killing Joke, they make thumping shards of dark rock noir”
— Extreme Listening Mode
“…get your chops round this dreamy video introduction – ‘Oceans of the Heart’.”
— Artrocker
