METAL.DE (GER) - 9/10 POINTS "A debut album that couldn't be any better... this album is already a masterpiece - highly addictive!"
METALIRELAND.COM - 4.7/5 POINTS & ALBUM OF THE MONTH "if ‘For Grace And Damnation’ had have been released in 1996, Graveyard Dirt would have been mentioned in the same breath as the Paradise Lost / My Dying Bride / Anathema big three. "
LEGACY (GER) - 12/15 POINTS & SOUNDCHECK #15 "'For Grace Or Damnation' proves that classic Doom with heavy Melo-Death influences doesn't have to sound as stale as many of the genre's more recent bands."
BLOODCHAMBER (GER) - 8,5/10 POINTS "I can highly recommend this to everyone who loves melodic Doom in the vein of the Peaceville Big Three of the early nineties."
METALSTORM (USA) - NOMINATION FOR BEST DOOM METAL ALBUM 2010 "Heart wrenching vocals and sweeping sombre yet uplifting guitars will even move the most cold hearted to near tears. A must hear for anyone who can appreciate that Irish melancholy."
