They have me in awe. The drive and power of this band is phenomenal ... I can’t say enough about [HE WAS A GOD], the way they worked the stage and kept the crowd engaged was amazing.

[He Was A God] unleashed a torrent of charismatic heavy metal with a message … As fun as it was furious [and] not afraid to make a statement … Each and every song came at the audience powerfully hard, and felt, in its own way, healing. Many of us have been internally screaming for months, even years. Curns let it out for us all.

A sweeping storm of poetic pain, punctuated with dynamic riffs and cutting vocal melodies ... A whirlwind of pure musical mayhem and ungodly guitar work.
Original Rock on The Smile & The Scar

Vocal harmonies and guitar riffs reminiscent of Alice In Chains … precise, powerful drumming … the lyrics pull you in to feel the anguish of self reflection as well as the desperation for relief from shame … [The Smile & The Scar] begged me to listen again.
-
Anyone who gets tired of hearing the same tired sounds over and over, but loves metal, needs to add [The Smile & The Scar] to their playlists ... A genius balance of scale riffs and soul. This is an amazing start to something I think will set a huge mark.
-
Insane talents ... He Was A God fires on all engines ... Ferocious riffing and tenacious melodies … Fused with a downright genius timing for emotion and sheer agony.

..the band’s socially aware messaging throughout Muckraker seems to be perfectly poised for what should unfortunately be a tumultuous election year.

...blistering lead guitar runs...immaculate poetic lines, [and] heavy grooves a la Faith No More, Kings X, and Sevendust, combined with catchy lead melodies on both guitar and vocals: This is He Was a God...This is one of the best bands out of Connecticut in the last five years and their debut album is just the tip of the iceberg

Rock solid and ass tight.... with tremendous groove, prog tempo changes, {and} lyrical mastery...shows the band's striking musical depth and insane versatility
