"A truly mind-blowing new release; there isn't a single letdown. All seven tracks are absolute bangers, and the aforementioned fuck-off attitude is part of what makes it so appealing to me. The killer sound is a real improvement over the previous album..."

"Fungus growing off the rich soil of persistent rhythm guitar threads, guiding the music through a series of dark chambers, each offering a unique and complementary experience. A continuation of second wave black metal at the molecular level that will satisfy listeners keen to dig beneath aesthetic fanfare even as the majority of metalheads continue overlook this underrated act."

"The album is truly a breathtaking sonic deluge, meant in the best possible way, that instantly sweeps you away and is guaranteed not to let go. It's also an album where you definitely can't decide which song is the best. You're not getting any false advertising here, but everything the beautiful cover artwork promises. Any questions?"

"NO SAFE PLACE is a banger of a debut with no weak tracks at all. It will be interesting to see how this band evolves and what they become in the future. I definitely recommend this album to melodic black metal enthusiasts that love their black metal to have atmosphere and feeling."

"Making some ugly, dirty punk songs sound even uglier and dirtier than the original is pretty hard, I guess. But the Italian scumbags Whiskey Ritual really got it with their latest EP STILL SCUM. On that one everything smells like a mixture of cold sweat, urine and spilled beer (and when you ever have attended a gig of these guys you know what I'm talking about)."

"[...] the music sounds honest, remains uncompromisingly true to its genre ("Attrition"), and is incredibly catchy. This is partly because the band from Bordeaux understands how to balance tempo, melody, and aggression so well that the individual tracks simply flow."

"Every track brings a new facet without losing the common thread, the lead work remains consistently strong, and the mixture of heaviness, melody and dark epic never seems overloaded. An LP that not only convinces, but shows that Thokkian Vortex clearly know what they are doing when it comes to individuality and compositional vision."

"Mit »No Safe Place« demonstrieren OPPRESSION eindrucksvoll, wie Black Metal heute klingen kann, wenn technische Versiertheit, atmosphärische Dichte und thematische Tiefe aufeinandertreffen. Die Kombination aus präziser Instrumentalarbeit, emotional aufgeladenem Gesang und durchdachter Komposition macht das Album zu einem Must-Have für Fans der Szene. .". [...]

"The thickly smeared keyboard parts beneath them add an extra layer of grimy undertone.

"The band ramp up the traumatic intensity again, but also create other dynamic diversions and additions, including desperately sizzling chords, haughty pronouncements (like some high priest of darkness), acrobatic rhythm-section adventures, and grand symphonic overlays that seem both celestial and catastrophic. Through it all, they don’t lose the distressing melodic thread, but bury it deeper and deeper in their listeners’ heads."
