Resolute in its delivery and steadfast in its ambition, Black Foxxes have delivered an album that’s both hauntingly fragile, aggressively unapologetic and arguably one of the strongest releases of the year.
Translating from old Norse as “rage”, there’s oddly little vitriolic anger on direct display on REIðI. Instead, this is a record which smoulders internally. If there’s rage, it’s the kind that burns a hole from the inside out.
I still stand by my opinion that Black Foxxes had one of the most impressive debuts of the past 5 years and that record was the most overlooked album of 2016. I don't think this is as good as the debut but, this album really makes me excited to see the future of this band.

Maybe I'm over hyping this band but ... read more
bland and trite alt rock bloated to death with all the possible clichés of its genre, both musically and lyrically

Black Foxxes' REIðI is an album I take great pride in discovering. Its blend of ambient and noisy elements, coupled with a delicate and glamorous touch, creates a captivating musical experience. The album exudes both rebellion and sensitivity, and it's truly disheartening to see its lack of popularity. REIðI deserves much more love and recognition. Black Foxxes is undoubtedly a band to keep a close eye on, and based on this project alone, they stand as one of the most underrated rock ... read more
I can appreciate a record that doesn't overstay its welcome. Coming in at an economical 10 tracks and 42 minutes, Black Foxxes' REIðI (meaning "anger" in Icelandic) is a pretty tight record with strong melodies and a good dynamic mixture of pensive, brooding parts and crunchy guitars during the more dramatic or heavy bits.
I hadn't listened to the band before, but I like the style and, surprisingly enough, I like Mark Holley's voice. Some folks might think the quivering and the ... read more
Great record that, less dynamic than their self titled but, even if it doesn't particularly bring anything new to the genre, it surely knows how to transmit emotion behind seemingly "generic" tracks.
