Drawing from acts like classic Slipknot and such massive names, it’s the best of its kind that I’ve heard in literally years.headbanger review
Spreading the Disease EP Mindcell is an absolute Dogs Conkers EP, an impressive piece of artistry from a top quality band. House of Pain.
Spreading The Disease put in one muthafucka of a show that will be difficult to beat, brought the house down with their set. Heard a local say afterwards "I don't even like metal but that was fucking brilliant". An alternative gathering. Andy Cavendish.
Spreading the disease & Parkway Drive show that the genre is alive and kicking, and can be great with the right musicians at the forefront. - Metal temple Mag.
