"VALLENFYRE (means “strong fire” in old English) is Paradise Lost mastermind Gregor Mackintosh... One could think that VALLENFYRE would sound a lot like old Paradise Lost, but when you listen to it you think more of Dismember, Entombed, Morbid Angel or Obituary. With that, the album plows through late 80's and early 90's death metal and obviously through the band members' record collection as well. Whether it's the beating "Ravenous Whore", the sluggish "Seeds" or the driving "My Black Siberia" with marching drums, here the beginnings of extreme metal in all its facets are paid homage to. The sound is also excellent." (metal1.info)
