Metal Injection

Errorzone is a rare kind of debut. It’s hardcore down to its marrow, but it’s got so much more to offer at every bone snapping turn.

Distorted Sound

The unwavering bludgeoning nature of Errorzone is truly spectacular and sits comfortably as one of the best extreme albums to come out this year.

PopMatters

You're too overwhelmed by the energy and passion of the delivery to care where exactly they have appropriated riffs and sounds from. Vein's feverish spirit on record is, without question, their unique selling point.

Exclaim!

Errorzone is an unequivocal body of scorn with a ferocious sound, opaque imagery and despondent lyricism that Vein will be recalled for amongst their contemporaries in years to come.

SUMMER SPREE - ALBUM #21

This album was deeply forgettable, I listened to it yesterday, and didn't have time to review it. It had predictable breakdowns, and subpar vocals most of the time. I liked bits and pieces of the album but there were no huge stand outs to me. I want to enjoy it more as I've been meaning to listen to it for months, but a little underwhelming overall.
