Read on for some reviews about WATAIN and their critically acclaimed new album, The Wild Hunt:

"[WATAIN's] most daring album yet." -- DECIBEL MAGAZINE

"There's a window in time where certain bands are the most dangerous or the most powerful in the world...Right now, that band is WATAIN." -- DEL JAMES (long-time GUNS N' ROSES road manager), DECIBEL MAGAZINE

"...if you were to put WATAIN's catalog alongside METALLICA's, you'd notice an almost eerie mirroring effect: 2000 debut 'Rabid Death's Curse' is WATAIN's 'Kill 'Em All'; 2003's 'Casus Luciferi' is their 'Ride The Lightning'; 2007's 'Sworn To The Dark' is their 'Master Of Puppets'; and 2010's 'Lawless Darkness' is their '...And Justice For All'. Which makes WATAIN's forthcoming fifth LP, 'The Wild Hunt', their 'Black Album,' and the similarities are striking: 'The Wild Hunt' is WATAIN's most straightforward collection, their most traditional rock-based collection; it's also a tremendous leap, from the lofty, daunting - and perhaps inaccessible - peaks previously scaled by the band into a wide, deep, very big pond." -- STEREOGUM.com
