"There's an unstable balance of lurching heaviness here, but far from typical or cliched... The band delivers dissonant rock structures with a jagged melody built underneath the smell of burning hair and thrift store perfume."
–Mike IX Williams, Eyehategod
“The new album combines the harsh, venomous sounds of black metal with the attitude and energy of hardcore punk, and one of the band’s fans is a legend in the world of metal/punk crossover, Eyehategod frontman Mike IX Williams...”
–BrooklynVegan
“It’s like someone got Black Flag all types of messed up and then explained death metal to them.”
–Metal Injection
"If you’ve ever wondered how would Eyehategod sound if they switched their downers to uppers, Chain Gang Grave are here to show you... Some real blood-spitting music."
–The Pit
“The New York City outfit leans closest to hardcore but that doesn’t mean they also don’t dish out Melvins-like noise rock, filthy death metal, and dissonant yet melodic parts into the mix...”
–No Echo
"This duo blends Hardcore Punk, Death Rock, and Death Metal to manifest a sound that’s really 1 of 1. Chain Gang Grave is depraved AF."
–CVLT Nation
"Chain Gang Grave infuse punk rock’s DIY ethics with noise, sludge, and plenty of riffs on new release 'Cement Mind.' If I must attempt, I’d say the group sound like Acid Bath‘s Yankee cousins, Gorefest with the exact opposite production sensibilities, or perhaps Lightning Bolt if they dropped out of RISD, moved to Brooklyn, and excised the math from their systems."
"Death rock, death metal, sludge, noise, punk, and hardcore are the genres covered across these nine tracks which, on paper, sounds ludicrous but the way this two piece approaches this amalgamation is nothing short of astounding and electric. The production trudges through the sewers and that’s just part of this album’s glory; it’s nasty yet holds a ton of fuck you punk energy, its fangs are sharp yet wildly off kilter."
–Nine Circles
"Inspired by bands like Black Flag, Rites of Spring, and Immolation... Unleashing aggressive, yet complex tunes in all their raw intensity and unrest."
–Rebel Noise
"Chain Gang Grave are dressed in the grit and grime of their home: Brooklyn. 'Cement Mind' is an unhinged creature that fires out a thumping hybrid of death metal and punk."

"Energizing sonics that are driven by a raw lyricism... Chain Gang Grave simply abide by their own rules."
–Heaviest of Art
"For most people, 'Cement Mind' will be their first introduction to Chain Gang Grave, and it will be one that will result in fascination, revulsion, or amazement; and potentially all three at once."
