REVIEWS:
-DECIBEL MAG: "Razör Förge split the difference between NWOBHM and off-the-rails first-wave Teutonic thrash. “Profane Savage” feels raw, ragged and passionate."
-ZERO TOLERANCE MAGAZINE: "Razör Förge are up first, the latest material evidence of Jørgen Sven Kirby's devotion to the metal cause. It's a raw and chaotic concoction with classic metal at its heart, demanding you 'bang or be dead'."
-METAL HAMMER: "Passionate 7" Split with two bands that although they follow different musical paths they share a common love for the darker side of old school, kickass metal, a fact that goes beyond genres and "labels" and serves only one common goal; Metal! Razör Förge is a one-man band from the UK that pays homage to the more obscure legacy of early British steel..."
-METALEGION: "'Profane Savage' kicks in... It's a charming take on blackened heavy metal, one that feels quite DIY and with space to evolve significantly, but its done with a true sense of honesty passion, and fitting perfectly into the vinyl format. Don't expect technical intricacies, Razor Forge goes for a primitive, embryonic form of heavy metal with crude vocals coming out straight from the rehearsing room."
-FÉMFORGÁCS: "Razör Förge got two spots to hit us with the power of speed metal from the ’80s in Profane Savage’s song. He was somewhat disturbed by this power with a bit of a dirty punk feeling, which gave his song a really proto-raw heavy metal sound."
-BLOOD FOG REVIEWS: "Lead guitars soar high in the mix like a brewing firestorm, causing smouldering ash to hail from the sky, gently settling atop the dust burdened hi-hat notes, leading us into the first true track of the split. ‘Profane Savage’ introduces us to the chunky rhythm guitar tone, erupting into the picture with devastating abruptness."
-EMPYRION FANZINE: "'Profane Savage', a mid-paced, bass heavy primal sounding ode to the Heavy Metal classics of yesteryear. Sporting primitive sounding production and some technical riff-age later on, RAZÖR FÖRGE is pure Heavy Metal worship."
-METAL MOLE REVIEWS: "“Profane Savage” broods and builds into a tight groove that is along the lines of a more classic heavy metal breed with a primitive speed metal edge than the crushing area of thrash battle-born barrages though just as savage. The metal to the bone track is just like its author Nattskog‘s personality and passion."
-QUEENS OF STEEL: “'Profane Savage', a song with a very chaotic dirty sound, although some rhythms between Doom and Speed/Black are appreciated. The truth is that it sounds very chaotic, like some VENOM in the garage with 15 years. Very underground and dark."
-GASMASK COLOSTOMY: "'Profane Savage' should be seen as a stab towards early USPM or the modern persuasion for blackened speed metal, with the solo suggesting the former and the harshness pointing to the latter."
-METALHEAD IT: "Razör Förge make a rough and dirty thrash..."
-BLACKENED DEATH METAL ZINE: "Razor Forge are a very great sounding mixture of black, thrash, speed and heavy metal."
-THE VIKING IN THE WILDERNESS: "Razör Förge kicks off the proceedings here, and their contributions sounds like material that could have been recorded back in the early 1980's by one of the underground bands of the NWoBHM scene."
