Press reviews

"static noise, bludgeoning percussion, distortedvocals, and hook-laden guitar lines -- protus also delves into a more gentle yet equally disconcerting realm where symphonic synths merge with pretty guitar and whispered vocals. A diverse act creating an array of dark-hued music." ~Will L. (for listen.com) "Lush experimental electronica. It feels as if one has fallen into a vast mindscape of sound." ~Artistic License Radio Station "A bit strange, a bit sad, and a bit tricky... but nevertheless a nice story-teller." ~Future Sound of Music Radio Station "totally fucked. Gotta love it." ~torvic of Antidote "Friday March 9, 2001 was his first live performance doing a short intro for Age Of Aggression. Churchie bashing, and twisted dark organ music filled the pitch black venue. When it was all done and the lights came on, jaws were on the floor. I, like all those I spoke to after the show, was blown away." ~Tye Nenycz, Quad City Metal Connection (www.qcmetalconnection.com)
