    It's not perfect by any means, but taking this for what it is, Vultures is a gnarly debut effort. [29 Sep 2012, p.52]

    This is furious but slick metalcore, but none the worse for that. [Nov 2012, p.103]

    Vultures isn't an album we'll be talking about 20 years from now, but for thrills, spills and hair-raising heaviness, it gets the job done in style.

    This balance between seriousness and metal excess is a tough one to pull off, but AxeWound manage it nicely, reining in the songs with enough genuine aggression that they're not in danger of devolving into parody.

    It quickly loses its appeal and gives way to the feeling that this is a just reasonable thrash metal record.

    Vultures is best left lying alone amongst its metal clichés and turgid song-writing.
