Revolver Magazine has included Flaming Tusk in their May/June 2010 “Golden Gods” issue.

‘[Flaming Tusk sound like] High on Fire and Immortal mud-wrestling in a black­ened sludge pit full of blood, bile, lava and more blood.’ -Revolver

‘The singer sounds like the mean­est moth­er­fucker in the world, scratch­ing out lyrics about the hor­ror of Vietnam includ­ing the line that’s been stuck in my head for weeks: “Ho Chi Minh Kissinger!” The gui­tars seam­lessly alter­nate between doom riffs and clas­sic death metal with a solo that’s best described as Fast Eddie Clarke from Motorhead. The side­walk shakes. I’m in the right place.’ -Adam Wisnieski, NY Press

The full text of the arti­cle is reprinted in the Music Features sec­tion of the NY Press web­site.

Autothrall, writ­ing for metal blog From The Dust Returned posted an appro­pri­ately praise­ful review of Old, Blackened Century.

‘…I found myself drool­ing most over the heav­ier, crash­ing thrash and burn of “Cillaighfearn” or the crush­ing, abysmal-tongued power groove of “No Smiles”, which plays out like an armada of hell­billy cir­cus freaks as they burn the god­damn Earth to ashes, ‘Stolas Trephinator’ going over­board at 2:30 with an insid­i­ous spo­ken word fill that had me both laugh­ing fiendishly at the absur­dity and claw­ing my own eyes out in ter­ror.’ -Autothrall, From The Dust Returned
