The album is poised to join the ranks of metal masterpieces, capturing the essence of the genre while pushing it into new territories.”- Metal Devastation

“Live from the Tempest” manages to accomplish precisely what it set out to do – craft an album that is at once uproariously breathtaking and liberating and that showcases the very traits that have made great metal with no shortage of buoyancy or virtuosity. Age of Fire have carved out a winner that is a highly worthy addition to the heavy metal genre.” – Indie-Vibe“

Seeds of Tomorrow is a smoldering slab of heavy played with punk-rock intensity and wrapped in an old-school production style.” – Please Pass the Indie

“The main riff of Children of the Night kicks in at the beginning of the song like a sledgehammer. The sludgy feel and slight down tuning create a vibe that instantly got my head bobbing and gave me the face you make after that first shot of whiskey.”  – Indie Spoonful
