Classic Rock MagazineJan 2, 2014A beautifully constructed, artful and imaginative debut. [Jan 2014, p.116]
-
Kerrang!Jan 8, 2014The tense atmospheres and '80s-strength songwriting neutralise the ever-present threat of lapsing into pastiche. [30 Nov 2013, p.53]

Jan 2, 2014Climax polishes Beastmilk’s iron-curtained grandiosity slightly (‘Ghosts Out Of Focus’ is eerily like Suede), while maintaining the Cold War-era paranoia in their lyrics.
-
Jan 2, 2014Beastmilk have created a seductively dark slab of post-punk which manages to not take itself too seriously, while still being brilliant enough for it not to become comical. And that’s a fine balance.

UncutJan 15, 2014Climax is both poundingly heavy and pleasingly melodic, at times recalling the Sisters Of mercy in their crossover pomp. [Feb 2014, p.71]
-
Jan 2, 2014Derivative? Yes--but Climax is immorally addictive and thoroughly enjoyable, in as apocalyptic a way as possible, from beginning to end.
