Gushed Alternative Press of the record, “Fans of the band’s 2015 debut, Birth And The Burial — as well as AOD guitarist Chris Broderick and drummer Shawn Drover’s previous stints in Megadeth — will be blown away by the record’s instrumental dexterity and topical urgency”

“…technical, extreme metal that’s as versatile as it is hard-hitting…” — Team Rock
“…an impressive trailblazer of an album…” — Louder Sound
“Old Scars, New Wounds establishes ACT OF DEFIANCE not just as a super-group with big names, but a great band comprising exceptional members making magnificent music.” — Metal Wani
