„Master are the best out there at this type of thing. Veterans that still rage better than the pretenders to the throne- long may they reign.” – The Sludgelord
„‘The Witchhunt’ bears all the hallmarks of the band’s Czech years: combining mechanical precision with a tangible soul. It also very much picks up where the streamlined ‘The New Elite’ left off in terms of quality…” [8.5/10] AveNoctum.com
