    They present a skewed take on real life rather than some mystical ramblings. [27 Sep 2014, p.54]

    What ultimately makes Condemned to Hope a real success, however, is not so much any of these things but the sheer conviction with which it delivers the goods.

    Black Moth are a young band who are improving fast and although they've got a lot of catching up to do with some of their contemporaries, the potential is there and Condemned To Hope is one of the better heavy British records of 2014.

    A little sluggish and generic in places, these churning incantations never quite combust like they should. [Oct 2014, p.90]

    While Black Moth's back-to-basics approach to riffing may invite the term "stoner rock," that implies a lethargy of mood, and of mind, that simply isn't there. [Oct 2014, p.104]

    Leeds psych-metal quintet sound suitably grinding and progressive. [Dec 2014, p.102]
