“Eye of Nix is excited to join an immense roster of experienced, fascinating artists and to work with Prophecy to release intense music throughout the world,” the band has stated. “As we continue the momentum of our path alongside so many interesting bands, we look forward to reaching listeners in Europe and beyond.” – Joy Von Spain
“Interesting samples add atmosphere and an overall uneasy sonic mood commensurate with Von Spain’s lyrical meditations on fear and discomfort. Occasional harmonized vocals and synthesizer melodies slice through the record’s gloom. The result is a mature musical journey with a surprisingly varied emotional palate.” – The Stranger
“The sheer depth of this music is stunning from the onset…atmospheric, ambitious melodic black metal meets thoughtful, midnight-tinted doom, stately neocrust, and ghostly vintage goth in a perfect danse macabre” – Noisey/VICE
“Von Spain’s operatic vocal tendencies make it epic, the psychedelia embedded in it makes it hypnotic, and the blackness and sludge creates a harsh abrasiveness.” – Invisible Oranges
