Reviews / Album

To Be Kind is a masterwork of the highest order, one of 2014’s finest releases, and a highlight from a 30-year-plus discography.

The record may be a little too tranquil to listen to in just any old mood, but after listening you may find your mood changed.

If Turn Loose The Swans or Shades Of God are still on repeat at your place, Vallenfyre is well worth your time.

A light-headed daydream amongst interstellar reveries that warms the heart.

This is pop music at its most blandly basic.

A solid first effort.

A few clean choruses bring a welcome relief to the onslaught and keep you wanting more. 

Catchy and well composed, it is one of their best works yet.

A now–defunct local act joked that metal is like a car – best without breakdowns. This Melbourne squad’s inaugural full–length missed that memo; it’s bristling with thunderous beatdowns ensuring nightly pit carnage.
