"The music is physically arresting, with the kind of tumultuous, surging power that gets the blood rushing. But the music is also dynamic and mood-altering, and loaded with seductive melodies that embed themselves in the mind. At a very high level, the album is punishing in its ferocity, remorseless in its viciousness, chillingly otherworldly, frighteningly magisterial, and also inconsolably bleak and heart-breaking.
This is really good stuff, so good (and so multi-faceted and dynamic) that it’s riveting from beginning to end."

"All Pain As Penance is a brilliant album, without a single song feeling out of place or placed on the record to pad the album out. It’s a definite improvement on A Crown Of Curses, with the music sounding more diverse and tight, and it’s genuinely impressive that this music was written and recorded by a single person, as the music is diverse and has plenty of depth that you don’t find with many one man black metal acts. It may be a little too early to say, but this could prove to be one of the stand out black metal albums of the year."

"The album presents seven very good songs that every Black Metal fan that misses the 90’s must hear. But the melancholic touch given by the keyboards on “Infinite Ancient Hexes”, the charming introspective parts in the middle of the fast tempos of “Ultra Terrestrial”, the harsh and bitter melodies of “Prayer of Electrocution” (very good guitar riffs), and the brutal and funereal “Seven Apparitions of Suffering” (good work on bass guitar and drums) are the ones that the fans will love at first listening.
ABDUCTION is really a very good name, and “All Pain as Penance” deserves to be heard for all extreme Metal fans."

"A hideous concoction of potently harsh and unnerving Black Metal, filled with mystique and ugliness but utilised in a beautifully pleasant way that was nothing short of a spectacle to behold. A perfectly follow up to “A Crown Of Curses”, evolution in the projects music ability and also something entirely fresh."
