“The chest cavity collapses from the sheer weight of the rhythms, the face turns blue from the strangulating riffs, a nefarious bellowing paralyzes the body with fear…all symptoms of a night spent with Drawn and Quartered’s Hail Infernal Darkness” – Metal Maniacs
“If you are a fan of the death metal style played by bands like INCANTATION and IMMOLATION, then you absolutely must seek out this group’s albums. Hail Infernal Darkness is a good place to start, it being the definitive representation of the band’s work…When those twisted riffs and sizzling leads ride over top of the bone crushing rhythms of bassist Greg Reeves and Dario Derna, you’ll think you died and went to Hell…I have no doubt that Hail Infernal Darkness will end up one of my favorite death metal albums of 2006. Yeah, and it’s only February. Support true death metal, buy Hail Infernal Darkness. It’s that simple” – Blabbermouth.net
“Death metal descended clearly from the DEICIDE and MORBID ANGEL side of the family, with echoes of NILE’s heavily stylized, formal and symmetrical arrangements…the total effect is monstrous” – Zero Tolerance
“Remember the unholy darkness and the spell of the occult that INCANTATION’s Onward To Golgotha and MORBID ANGEL’s Altars of Madness drenched your sorry-ass soul into? Drawn and Quartered’s Hail Infernal Darkness decimates everything in its path with the same penchant experienced on the latter releases…a must-have for fans of very, very early INCANTATION, MORBID ANGEL and IMMOLATION as it will take your final breath and drag you down to the darkened depths of the abyss!” – Explicitly Intense
“This album is evil as hell and that’s no joke. Very few bands manage to play death metal and sound malevolent. For Drawn and Quartered, it appears to be in their nature to be just that. The music hits you with sheer intensity. Turn it up even louder and you’ll feel like you’re being beaten unconsciously…a tumultuous experience” – Caustic Truths [4/5 rating]
“Has successfully replicated every sweaty nuance of late ‘80s death metal…a metal traditionalist’s dream come true…one of the better traditional death metal albums in a long time” – Decibel
“Brutal, intense and evil death metal” – About.com
“This is MORBID ANGEL worship, but it's MORBID ANGEL worship for people who worship MORBID ANGEL… The MORBID ANGEL reference is mainly in the way the band weaves in and out of the time signatures, giving them the ability to toss almost any changes they want into the songs. It makes the compositions far more interesting than the average Death Metal songwriting, but it's something so endemic to MORBID ANGEL you can't divorce it… What the band DOES bring to the table is old school Euro-Death vocals and a somewhat IMMOLATION-styled sense of organic playing. This is a band so comfortable in whatever skin they are wearing that they play their shit right out of the box, as it were. You don't feel like you are listening to a studio recording, but a band doing their set in a studio…And you cannot even conceive of playing this style of death metal unless you are on top of your instrument. Everyone flays” – MetalReview.com [5/6 rating]
“Poised to show everyone that with 10 years and four albums under the band's belt, this band knows exactly what they've set out to do in the world of metal…This is death metal, down and dirty: guttural vocals, snaky leads, doomy solos, spidery riffs, uncompromisingly relentless drumming, and more evil than all the metalcore and wanna-be bands in the world. Seriously, remember how the first MORBID ANGEL record you ever heard made you feel dirty and evil? Get ready, cause it's much of the same with Hail Infernal Darkness…Moribund's slogan is ‘Cold, Grim, Evil’ and I'll be damned if Hail Infernal Darkness isn't all three of those and darn good, too” – Deadtide.com
