"Quite simply put, this was the best Death Metal album ever constructed. It contains a most perfect and unique balance of power, speed, gut-wrenching vocals, heaviness, intensity, and shredding riffs. Any one of the younger fans wondering who Benediction really is, you really need to purchase this album. Transcend The Rubicon not only defines Benediction, it defines everything that death metal was supposed to be. Even after being out for 7 1/2 years, and I was just listening to it the other day, it NEVER gets old."

YEEEESSS!

"This is it! One of the most brutal Records that ever had the honour to make my brain collapse! From the opening of "Unfound Mortality" to the final Riffs of "Artefaced/Spit forth" ( a medley of two songs from their Subconcious Terror Debut CD) Benediction makes you feel like you are pushed to the ground and beaten with an iron fist! Death Metal isn't the right expression for what Benediction do on this Record, BRUTALITY WITHOUT MERCY COMBINED WITH SOME OF THE HEAVIEST RIFFS THAT WERE EVER PLAYED would be suitible. "Painted Skull", "Violation Domain", "Nightfear", tracks that kill at first sight. A must-have for any Death Metal Fan. One of the eleven highlights on this CD is "Wrong Side of the Grave", written by THE ACCÜSED where Benediction get Assistance from Jan Chris of Gorefest and Karl from Bolt Thrower!"
