"In the Depths of R’lyeh offers arguably the darkest, dankest, most forlorn, and truly heaviest – in EVERY sense of the term - extreme doom/death record ever created." - MORIBUND RECORDS
"In The Depths of R’yleh is an essential addition to any Extreme Doom collection." - METALREVIEW.COM
"In the Depths of R’lyeh is arguably the pinnacle of the genres limit." - DIGITALMETAL.COM
"Harsher than virtually any modern doom, Catacombs surge from the most horrific depths of hell and sink deep into one's soul... A superpathogen to end all humanity." - METAL MANIACS
"In The Depths of R’yleh is an essential addition to any Extreme Doom collection." - METALREVIEW.COM
"Consider Catacombs an entity among heavyweights Disembowelment and Thergothon." - EXPLICITLY INTENSE (#22)
"In The Depths Of R’Lyeh' is excellent. Crushing, droning doom with glacial riffs and deeply growled vocals are combined with, believe it or not, melodic guitar tones (both distorted and acoustic). The guitar tones add another atmospheric layer to funeral doom that’s missing on most other releases. In addition, there are just enough subtle changes in tempo to add a much needed aspect of variation to the music. Highly recommended." -

"If people actually played funeral doom bands like Catacombs at wakes, people would be too afraid to die." – CMJ
"Overall brilliant, well-produced and composed funeral doom metal. (9.1/10)" - MAELSTROM (#42)
"In short, there are only so many words one can use to describe an album such as this. It has an almost cinematic quality to it, playing out like a brilliant soundtrack to an equally brilliant fantasy-horror film. It has such a convincing vibe that it stands out even in a genre known for its atmospherics above all else. Unlike a lot of doom it's very cleverly put together and speaks to a level of sophistication that's most metal bands can't even approach. No doom fan should be without this album." - DIABOLICAL CONQUEST
