“Though this is their debut long-player, These Monsters have released a lot of music already, so one can see this as the ending of chapter one of their existence – not a complete culmination of everything achieved to date as such, but certainly a marker for what has been and what is yet to be. With a dynamic established and assured, future work is certain to be interesting.”
- Mike Diver ‘Call Me Dragon’ Review for BBC Music
“An entity of unmatchable interest These Monsters deliver where not many artists of this ilk can.”
- Drowned in Sound
“‘Call Me Dragon’ is an interestingly dark affair, with hefty riffs, powerhouse drumming and an all round cohesiveness that many modern prog and psych influenced bands fall short of.”
- Contact Music
“These Monsters have a very distinct contemporary sound whilst flourishing in classic influences.”
- Collective-Zine
“This is very much avant-rock done absolutely right.”
- The Fly Magazine
“Call Me Dragon is heavy, intense and brooding, filled with layers and technically very impressive. Highly recommended.”
- Room Thirteen
“THESE MONSTERS are at the luxurious end of extraordinary.”
- Whisperin and Hollerin
“like the blissful feeling of being released from life by the painful but blessed kiss of a sharp, sharp knife. It is wonderful to experience.”
- Subba-Cultcha
“a sharp shot of rampant energy in the form of These Monsters. On local hit label de jour ‘Brew’ they are sweaty, phenomenally loud and utterly uncontrollable.”
