"The cover looks as the record sounds,
bleak, hard and apocalyptic, riffs written for the worship of doom with the
influence of a love of death metal. It could be said that it’s a perfect blend
of death and doom."

"Moreover, the vivid, enveloping sound captured by Newman really puts you
into the music rather than beside it, which makes all the difference.
Added up, this record can be best described as if treacle was music:
dark, viscous and fucking sweet."

"I don't think it has anything to do with that spectrum of positive and negative," adds Flam. "It's like an escape from reality, similar to watching a horror movie. When we play this music, it conjures certain images in my head, like being a fucking gladiator and just fucking slaying people. I don't think those images are necessarily negative."

Review from the quietus
http://thequietus.com/articles/10436-metal-album-reviews-columnus-metallicus-2
"...what did you expect of a group that is essentially New York's Unearthly Trance plus former Electric Wizard and current Ramesses bassist/guitarist Tim Bagshaw – positivity? A Billy Joel cover? No, you expect malevolently evil riffs and suitably grotty, impenetrable production; you expect something terrifying and that's what you get."

"Compositionally this length also symbolizes a step forward for the band, betting enriched by a formula in which we can distinguish ambient sounds perfectly conjugated with the hardness of their original sound."
"Overall, Serpentine Path is the key for those seeking a different work within the boundaries of Doom populated, and inside you will find the best of a great production with the heart beating in his worn Underground ribs ..."

"As much as I hate the hype machine, if this first offering from Serpentine Path is anything to go off of, I’m pretty sure that the next album from these guys is going to destabilize the Earth’s orbit. At least."
http://thesludgelord.blogspot.com/2012/10/serpentine-path-serpentine-path-album.html
"... monolithic lumbering anthems, perfectly paced and structured songs complete with their pedigree and experience already make this debut a classic."

Review @ The Heavy Metal Saloon
http://baileysmmcreamy.blogspot.sg/2012/10/serpentine-path-serpentine-path.html
"...the musicians here are generally doing something more than extrapolating upon their usual activities in their main bands. The sound is unexpected for these particular gents, albeit generally well-fitted to an established heritage. Up there competing with The Slow Death and Evoken for the doom-death outing of 2012."

"This is a smothering blanket of death-tinged doom...the sound of towers falling and glaciers grinding their way towards the equator. It is doom incarnate."

"The doom on this album is not only thick and monolithic, it’s also violent and evil. I’m not sure what these guys have planned for future releases, but if they keep this up, they are going to own the doom/death genre with ease."

"The band itself is entirely built around the concept of corruption. Mischief is a slow process, think of the rot from the inside of a solid forest giant."
" This group is disgusting."

"...a powerful statement of doom metal misanthropy delivered with the fatal acumen of four veterans of the genre."

[translated quote]
"The debut of Serpentine Path is the culmination four veterans, almost cult heroes, which, although it does not offer anything new or subversive, manages and flattens everything in its path and raises serious candidate for doom album of the year. "

Review from dailydischord.com
http://www.dailydischord.com/serpentine-path-serpentine-path/
"This is so god damn heavy it nearly picked me up and threw me across the room! It is so painfully slow and grinding that it makes My Dying Bride sound positively speedy and upbeat."
"Doom Metal with a death metal flavour done really well so if that sounds like your thing then this is a must – buy for you. Run, or rather crawl really slowly, along and get it now!"
