“If The Exploited and Nuclear Assault had a kid, TOXIC HOLOCAUST would take its lunch money and toss it in the dumpster.” — Hails & Horns
“TOXIC HOLOCAUST should make you bang your head and make you smile, and if they don’t, you either don’t like the music, don’t get it, or are too damn straight-laced for your own good.” — Meat, Mead, Metal
“…a fantastic push-play-and-forget thrash experience, and its quality seems to increase when you’re pissed the fuck off while listening.” — Metal Reviews
“Masters of the hook and the earworm, TOXIC HOLOCAUST will have Conjure And Command playing in my head for a long time.” – About.com
“TOXIC HOLOCAUST have given fans a record that they will be able to devour now and for fucking years to come…” – Cvlt Nation
“….sweetly redolent of thrash, d-beat, and raw sewage, the album simmers with tar-thick riffage, staggering breakdowns, and a corroded dose of self-loathing. If this is what TOXIC HOLOCAUST‘s next decade is going to look like, bring it on.” – The Onion’s A.V. Club
“…it’s refreshing to hear a thrash band that is so single-minded about its whirlwind riffs and pastor-baiting lyrics.” – The Washington City Paper
