  • “If true happiness is a gun warm to the touch, then unequivocal ecstasy – for this Capitol City triage at least – is in the wrist-breaking kickback. Side “e” from their hot-off-the-lathe Pink 7", this pillage 'n' plunder anti-anthem was a session leftover from last November's EP The Arrangement. Nuked and with enough feedback though, one man's scraps become another derelict's feast. And while you certainly can't gorge yourself here on words alone (bassist/iron shriek Eric Greenwood proffers only a quatrain's worth of transgressive tropes), by the time this one is over, a pistol whipping would be a welcome respite from the post-punk pith still knotting itself in your belly.” - Coke Machine Glow

  • “Indeed, 'The Chop' finds Death Becomes Even The Maiden at its most methodical, allowing the subtleties of Sims' synthesizers to steer. Meanwhile, 'The Only Thing I Feel for You Is the Recoil' caroms along on the brink of collapse with nothing but Powell's manic drumming holding it together.” - Free Times

  • “The point is that, between all of these musical reference points - Joy Division, Nirvana, Unwound, Young Widows, Mineral, Drive Like Jehu - lies Death Becomes Even the Maiden on their own point in the middle, balancing rigid and nervous post-punk rhythms with the raw fury of primed post-hardcore.” - Audiversity

  • “I first thought of Joy Division, then Unwound, and then I stopped comparing and let the band rock my face off.” - CNET's Crossfade

  • “The instrumental strengths of Bolt bolster the minimal post-punk of From Safety To Where and DBETM finds the perfect middle ground.” - Sound As Language

  • “song structures that are ready to fall apart at any moment yet quickly speed ahead averting disaster.” - Daily Gamecock

  • “While not a perfect description, the best this poor music journalist can come up with is that Death Becomes Even the Maiden sounds like Nirvana doing Joy Division covers.” - IndieRocket

  • “Very clean, very precise, and very pithy...” - Lexicon Devil

  • “...an immediate and arresting brand of indie grunge that's reminiscent of Unwound and Nirvana.” - Free Times
