"Wicked... Mind-expanding experiments with drone guitars, lumbering bass lines and mystic atmosphere."
—Rolling Stone India
"8.5... Queen Elephantine have become masters of evocative, atmospheric drone, enlisting a multitude of musical traditions from across the world to create aural environments that feel ancient and earthy. Entrancing riffs crawl and repeat before either exploring into a flurr
y of noise or collapsing complete to almost nothing but an ego-destroying drone and group chanting."
—Terrorizer Magazine
“Doom rock at its brooding, soul-striping best.”
—Hong Kong Magazine
"There comes a point when listening to a record becomes more of a religious experience than a musical one."
—Roadburn's Album of the Day
"One of the finest current purveyors of opiated psychdoom... Killer."
—Crucial Blast
"This is how you intoxicate your audience… The perfect storm of instrumentation, musicians and sensibilities; the vision is singular, and the results are spectacular… A majestic, downtrodden, mystical form of drone doom unlike anything I have heard for a while.”
—The Sleeping Shaman
"[QE] entrap us from the first instant with the sheer ritual of their sound, the sheer multi-levelled drama of their experience. Like largactilled earthmovers aping human metal culture while the cities burn on the horizon... Awe-inspiring."
—Julian Cope's Head Heritage
