REVIEW : A Feast For Kings - Hell On Earth
"AFFK certainly is not a retread of UnderOath or other worn sounds. They blaze their own trail. In many ways, they are what August Burns Red recently laid down the gauntlet for bands to be; they are unique, passionate, heavy, and something entirely their own. If Hell on Earth is a taste of things to come, fans will certainly be left craving more."

In The Silence of the Mind - Becoming a Band - Part 2: What's in a name?
In the Silence of the Mind: March 7, 2014
Being a Band – Part 2 – What’s In a Name?
