"This one truly does have it all!" – Metalmaniacs.com

"We in the States receive a lot of flack (most deserved…look at MTV) for the demographic being so, well, musically-challenged, if you will, and within such constraints, great bands like Satan's Host get virtually ignored for the mundane Slipknots and Disturbeds of the world. While the mainstream revels in the strictest regiment of simplistic, diluted music to whet the palate, we look to the bands that put out albums like By the Hands of the Devil to right the scales of the underground accordingly…easily one of the best albums of the year. Absolutely essential" – MetalPsalter.com [5/5 rating]

"Classic…essential…stellar stuff!" – Hellridemusic.com

"A beautiful osmosis of classic '80s JAG PANZER and MERCYFUL FATE, which, if you've got even the faintest shred of dignity or taste, will initiate an abyssal erection a quarter century in the making" – From the Dust Returned [8.5/10 rating]
