"i have been a fan of Vital Remains-- since let us pray--was released--- nothing could beat its brutality-- well maybe-- this-- i hesitated buying this release--maybe it was because of only having 6 songs-- but the cd itself is over 40 minutes long-- including the best song ever made-- i am god---over 9 minutes long-- no disappointments here-- its hard to compare them with any other death metalband--just cause no other band has what Vital Remains has--true creativity-- not for everyone though-- just the Underground-- all hail Vital Remains"

"These guys are somewhat legendary in the Underground, and its easy to see why. This album rules (though it has been surpassed by their newest opus "Dawn of the Apocalypse"). This album has great tempo shifts, rythyms, and drumming, not to mention Dave Sazuki's (Drums) acoustic and classical guitar elements., Totally cool. Also, Forever Underground (the song) is pretty much my metal anthem! As the song says "We sound the horns/No turning back/Forever true/Forever black". Hail Vital Remains!"

"This is a very good example of an underground death metal band. Killer lyrics. Killer Music. The cover also rocks. The Star of Baphomet. My fav song would have to be Forever Underground. Buy this and hear good, and true death metal."

"This is one trully epic metal album. I first got hold of the two albums on Peaceville "Let Us Pray" and Into Cold Darkness, because I was into the musicianship of the guys in the band. But upon hearing that Glen Benton joined the band I lost a little intrest. Than I was on a quest to find this album "Forever Underground" after reading about it and tried to find it.It was almost impossible to find under 50 bucks, Finally found a seller selling it for 10.98, I couldnt belive it ! I e-mailed him and said your sure its that album, It was ! This and the others mentioned are far superior than the Benton stuff, but I became a big fan of this crushing hi- tech death metal, I listen to all of it now including the Benton stuff. But "Forever Undergound" and the earlier music is the real original vision of metal these guys had..Fierce drumming and guitar playing and a really creepy forbidden vibe to it all, an absolute metal classic, good hunting !!"
