REVIEWS:
-CULT NEVER DIES: "Sykelig Englen is a raw and discordant assault of aggressive and sometimes depressive second wave black metal with punk, death rock and experimental touches."
-LA NOIRE BESTIA (8/10): "with nocturnal riffs, melancholy, anger, aggression and despair, what black metal should have."

-OCCULTBLACKMETALZINE (8/10): "A very dark, heavy and melodic sound starts off the ep while the vocals are mostly high pitched yet depressive black metal screams. All of the musical instruments on the recording have a very powerful sound to them while blast beats can also be heard when the music speeds up."

-LEGIONS OV DARKNESS (8/10): "their most morbid of feelings; set to some very impressive riffs and percussion."
-RIFFTASTIC (7/10): "Atmospheric, disturbing, beautiful and sad Sykelig Englen continue to challenge the norms and expectations of the black metal genre and never fail to surprise me."

-GAMES, BRAINS & A HEADBANGING LIFE (7/10): "Like the album, it and the remainder of the EP has an unnatural rawness that slices away at the brain matter."

-BATTLE HELM (7/10): "This creates an aura of despair and anguish. This is pitch black. There is no light to be found, and that is what makes this cool."

-CADAVER GARDEN: "This release is biting, bitter and cold as it provides you with icy atmospherics that are underlying beneath the ritualistic sonic pourings of metallic darkness. Darkened and ever ceaseless, each of the four offerings that are present here are straight forward black metal assaults that are summoned from their tombs to gift you with a gritty and malevolent listen."

-HEADBANGER REVIEWS: "It hits in all the right areas in order to deliver a punch that’s as ice-cold as it is immensely sharp. It brings forth an experience that’s as scathing as it is somewhat capturing as “This Hollow Land” constantly churns with darkness."

-VM UNDERGROUND FANZINE: "you get that dissonant feeling in the music. And when it grabs you it doesn’t want to let you go like slimy tentacles of the old one…"

-MUSIPEDIA OF METAL: "The essence of black metal is that atmospheric misery which can crash on you like a wave upon the rocks. This release certainly captures the depressive misanthropic mood."

-BLACK METAL SPIRIT: "New themes that move through melancholy land submerging the listener in a state close to madness."

-HEAVY METAL RELICS: "I dug it, some cool riffs that create a mood, raw without sounding like ass and drum machine but not shit samples."
-THIRD EYE CINEMA: "Dark, sinister sounding, melodically grim"
