Pick this one up; you won�t regret it!� � PureGrainAudio.com �CHARIOTS OF THE GODS are showing plenty of promise to be able to be one of Canada�s next big things out there� � Metal Observer �An incredibly professional production is at hand: drums are clear; vocals are on the perfect level with the instruments; even the soft and quiet moments are balanced just right so as to create bits of atmosphere against the heaviness. There is a pure love of metal evident in this debut and the production lets all the power, aggression, and passion through to the listener�the band confidently establishes their intention: a charge of solid and unyielding melodeath garnished with impeccable interludes, solos, and leads.� � MetalStorm �CHARIOTS
OF THE GODS, with their first full-length release �Tides Of War�,is
sure to be the new buzz of the underground scene�Overall, the album is
an eclectic, vibrant, and colorful release that really keeps listeners
head banging all the way and appreciating the good work the band has put
in. The production is clearly strong, coming from the hands of Glen
Robinsonwho has worked with Metal legends such as ANNIHILATOR and �Splendid stuff from a young Canadian troupe that would appear to have all the tricks� I love their coruscating mix of Maidenesque harmonies (have a listen to the awesome Blind Assassin and tell me you ain�t impressed)� � MetalAsFuck ��Tides of War� is an album that rivals classics by acts such as God Forbid, Shadows Fall, and Killswitch Engage in excellence and pays respectful homage to acts like In Flames, Arch Enemy, At The Gates, and Dark Tranquility. For my money, this debut album deserves the status as a melodeath-type of metal classic. 5/5″ � MetalMusicArchives �The best thing about this band, in my view, is the powerful melodic style they bring to each song. The guitarists are especially strong on several tracks, including �Tides of War,� �Revillusion (1905),� and �Unbound.� I loved the instrumental track �Snow Falls on the White River (1914),� yet another piece of evidence that these guys have a keen sense of melody, at times, one that even approaches beauty. Mathiew St-Amour and Dimitri Gervais play their guitars with grace and precision and sound especially great on their harmonized parts. These guys have a bright future as twin guitar leads and I hope they�ll take advantage of what they can do together. Readers who like their guitars to come in pairs will love this album.� � SeaofTranquility �COTG entice the listener with infectious hooks, associated melodies and some blistering solos out of the guitar work. If that is not justice enough for you to buy this, then listen to the intensity of Renaud Jobin�s vocals. This is a release that requires you to strap your balls down (if you have them of course!) when the volume is cranked up�They have a fantastic musical ability and a gift of song structure that exhumes listeners emotions that includes anger and conversely serenity and the need to throw the devil horns without too much though will therefore result. �Tides of War� promotes Chariots of the Gods as real contenders in their field of metal, their field of glory and the rewards are presented for everyone on these exceptional fourteen tracks defining a generation of musically gifted individuals who do not rely purely on breakdowns to get their point across, it sounds effortless. Horn�s raised high gents! 4/5″ � Brutalism.com �Overture is quite sweet sounding and feels like a film score. Nothing compared to the monster that is waiting to be unleashed. Ferocious riffs and classic metal vocals. Drums blasting out the speed and blasts and the guitars giving it a chunky edge whilst maintains some harmony. Hatebreed hardcore edge but throws in the melody. Definitely an innovative sound amongst a sea of similar sounds. Chariots of the Gods definitely seem to offer something that little bit different. Taking the generic metal sound and throwing in delicious guitar solos with a conflicting vocal. Upbeat without being cheesy.� � Culutre Bomb Mag �I�m honored to be a part of this project� � Glen Robinson (producer) �It�s pretty good!� � Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) �In my opinion, Chariots of the Gods is THE melodic thrash metal revelation in Canada this year� � Musique d�une Nation �Excellent album full of energy [...] I may have a man-crush on Chariots of the Gods� �I wouldn�t be surprised to see �Tides of War� be a strong beginning this year in the field of melodic death metal.� Dagheisha �Just pure metal [...] it�s a real treat to the ears� � Metal Manic �My first reaction was �WOW!� [...] If you like death metal, you have to get that CD� � WTFMusic.com �It�s a masterpiece� � Radiorockdrummond.com �Mathieu-Phillipe St-Amour is undoubtedly a promosing guitarist� � dagheisha.com �A band to admire [...] amazing collaboration of Heavy Metal and Death Metal [...] no less than perfect� � Metal Temple �An excellent band who knows what they are doing [...] Listen to them and you�ll discover something great� � Dave Lemire (Concert promoter) �Chariots of the Gods [...] are doing everything right [...] they are talented and powerful enough to show the world Canada rocks hard� � Metal Bite �I am stoked to discover new talent from Ottawa [...] Chariots of the Gods is an erruption waiting to happen� -The Ottawa Epitaph �Hands down, CHARIOTS OF THE GODS have worked hard and have improved their songwriting that shines in �Tides Of War� in every aspect. Don�t be fooled by the melodic Death Metal tag and consider the Canadians just another IN FLAMES wannabe because there is more than just catchy riffs and growling vocals. And don�t forget that CHARIOTS OF THE GODS come from Canada that is a most reliable source for high quality Metal. 8/10″ � MetalKaoz.com
