"Leeches of Lore have stepped through the rift to offer us salvation. Spilling forth their musical seed, the intergalactic dust bowl is healed by a sour-mash tincture of sound. Like hard rock carnival barkers from the future, Steve Hammond and Andy Lutz blend classic metal, thrash, and country doom into an alter-dimensional spaghetti western to mesmerize the rubes, whilst elevating the rest of us upon the shoulders of the sonic Sasquatch. These are the songs we hear when fight must be chosen over flight. The war upon mediocrity has begun! The arrival of Leeches of Lore's debut album signals the return to halcyon days, the beginning of the end. Rapture will follow..."
"Solidly built, loudmouthed and quick to strike, Leeches of Lore's self-titled album is a tempest brewing. The guitar-and-drums duo likes its thrash metal with a little cowpokery, and the vocals are of the voice-destroying-scream variety. The breakneck pace is brought down a notch on occasion, but before you know it, the speed is cranked back up. The crashing waves of psychedelic spaced-out guitar break hard against a bedrock of sturdy metal. Leeches of Lore proves two is all the company you need to start a hard rock riot."
