★★★★★

The Prog Report - “If you’re feeling courageous, adventurous and curious to hear music that defies description, “From Nothing,” is unlike anything else you’ll hear this year”.

Kerrang! Radio  - “Experimental metal of the highest order“.

PROG Magazine - “Complex, careering, prog-metal blowouts”.

GBHBL - “I’ve run out of ways to tell you how utterly brilliant and utterly mental this album is. It’s the stuff you tell your grandchildren about. If this doesn’t send them into the progressive stratosphere then the music industry is well and truly f**ked”.

Heavy Blog Is Heavy - “I want albums that I can keep coming back to and keep rediscovering because they are overflowing with inventivness. I want From Nothing and thank the heavens that Benthos gave it to me”.

Sound Magnet - “A major modern prog metal album that can stand alongside both its predecessor and the heavyweights of the genre”.

Metal.de - “ Benthos could seriously stir things up. And anyone approaching this quintet with these expectations is in for a surprise—perhaps in the best sense of the word”.

Powermetal.de - “Any initial doubts about whether the Italians might be going a bit overboard eventually dissolve—and by that point, the question of genius or madness has also been answered. From Nothing challenges and rewards”.
