"Whether you term Confrontational to be Darkwave, Synthpop, or any of the multitude of combinations for the two – SynthWave and Horror Synth being two of the particularly catchy options – you are on-track to understanding an artist who beautifully blends all the very best of the darkest ‘80s noir with retro electronics and vampiric storylines. The end result here is a sound that is deliciously danceable, hauntingly sensual, and perfectly crafted to score your next languid Horror feast." J. Blue, CrypticRock.com

I don't know what it is, but in DWTD's discography this record really stands out to me. Picking a favourite track is difficult because all of the songs sound incredible to me, but POISON is probably the most fresh and energetic song in my opinion. zWarhead

This EP is superb. I did not expect the closing track to sound the way it does. Such an atmospheric and emotional sound, it really turns the rest of the EP up to eleven. zWarhead
