Press for Restless Dreams:
”The album has such a weighty tone as they weave beautiful melodies with interesting musical ideas that highlight their great songwriting. No one song really follows the same pattern. They have a great mix of anthem-like tunes that follow a simple song-writing structure.” - HEAVY Magazine
“RESTLESS DREAMS is unsettling and beautiful at the same time.” - METAL-RULES
”Song by song, the album becomes more intense and gloomy. Already the first track with vocals, "I Got a Letter" , sounds like the band, together with the protagonist in "Silent Hill 2", is looking into the abyss of the human psyche and pulling me along. The sluggish, hopeless denying impression runs through the whole album with its heaviness.” - SILENCE MAGAZIN
