"Let the punishment begin."
–Consequence of Sound
"SoCal doom unit Black Sheep Wall returns... with more melody and even more bitterness in tow. The melodies are disjointed and fragmented, and wouldn’t sound out of place on Hydra Head’s mid-2000s golden ages... Black Sheep Wall has an enigmatic touch that doesn’t involve cloaking themselves in secrecy. They offer just the right amount of confusion to make themselves a lot more interesting than many sludge and doom bands."
–SPIN
"With a decade of dynamic, experimental sludgecore behind them — as well as wild shows with like-minded riff warriors such as Converge and High on Fire — L.A.-area noise-makers Black Sheep Wall are set to return... The diverse LP veers between post-metal dirges, Slint-style spoken word, a trumpet-led waltz and more."
–Revolver
"Their most dynamic album yet... Where their previous albums have been all about pounding sludge, 'Enamel Queen' is a frantic mixture of tempos, harmonies, feedback and screams that feels like a genuine venting of their frustration and sidetracked ambition."
–The Pit

–The Pit
"As bone-crushingly heavy as it is psychedelic and melodic."
–BrooklynVegan
“Metal, hardcore, noise, post-rock, sad trumpet, sludge, soundscape dirges... It really is a journey, one unlike much else out there.”
–Invisible Oranges
"You missed this band whether you know it or not."
–Metal Injection
"[Songs for the Enamel Queen] finds the Californian sludge lords wading deeper into the surreal swamp."
–Decibel
"Arguably Black Sheep Wall's best record. So much has changed about this group, yet the core elements of their sound remain intact. Trading in slow plodding riffs for unorthodox melodies makes Songs for the Enamel Queen the most vulnerable and sonically dense album in the band's catalogue."
–Exclaim!
"Black Sheep Wall have emerged from their five year cocoon, sounding fresh and vital... Songs For The Enamel Queen is the sound of a band reborn, and easily one of the better (and adventurous) heavy releases you’re likely to hear all year."

"The band’s innovative drumming within sludge metal takes on near-mathy complication."
–Flood

"Songs for the Enamel Queen is the group’s first full-length in nearly five years and it’s a motherfucker, there’s just no other way to put. The album depicts a band and a mind on the edge, haunted by depression and addiction, and the 60-minute run time is nothing short of a harrowing journey."
–No Clean Singing
"For my money, this is 2021’s first must-listen."
–Everything Is Noise
"Seven tracks of devastating sludge, emotionally heavy post-metal, and earwrecking hardcore... It is a BEAST."
–Nine Circles
"Songs for the Enamel Queen is a milestone achievement for Black Sheep Wall and it appears as though this is the quintessential line-up, holding a bright future for the band ahead. Don’t miss what is sure to be one of the heaviest albums of the year, and a real triumph for the band."
–Sputnik Music
"Nearly one hour in length, Songs for the Enamel Queen is one intense journey, from start to finish... An experimental metal adventure."
–V13
"Songs For The Enamel Queen is an incredibly human record. It's an album that gets incredibly personal and showcases some of the darker sides of the human experience in an almost eager fashion. This is also a record that really sees Black Sheep Wall broadening their sonic pallet... Black Sheep Wall have gone above and beyond with this record."
–Two Guys Metal Reviews
"Bridging the pummeling nature of sludge with a dose of hardcore is Black Sheep Wall... Colossal breakdowns, melodic riffs, a blood-curling vocal performance by Brandon Gillichbauer and more."
–Heaviest of Art
