Read on for a few reviews of THE SAFETY FIRE’s progressive masterpiece, Grind The Ocean:
“If you’re on the lookout for great progressive metal in 2012, these guys come highly recommended.” — GUITAR WORLD.com
“Imagine a startling mix of AT THE DRIVE IN and KARNIVOOL , melded to the fluid harmonics of THE MARS VOLTA, the distracting glories of BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME and the sonic flows of CIRCLES…The album is a tempestuous maelstrom of consuming emotions and atmospheres layered upon polyrhythmic disinterested structures and expansive and attention grabbing melodies and vocal harmonies.” — THIS IS NOT A SCENE.com
“‘Grind The Ocean’ is soothing yet fierce, familiar yet unexpected, and a great debut.” — HEAVY BLOG IS HEAVY.com
“This is a progressive master class, its big and epic at times and subdued and conservative the rest of the time and this is a great contrasting listen.” — ULTIMATE GUITAR.com
“THE SAFETY FIRE’s music is dynamic and diverse throughout each song, able to capture and maintain a listener’s attention across their multiple 6-minute epics.” — METAL SUCKS.net
