  • Reviews on Promo tape 1997:
    • Ladislav Jusko (Music Scene zine, Slovakia)
      Marvellous material. Henceforward MENTALITY thread with their innovative model of death/grind that they already flinged away on their first demo. Substance of the music is made up with hard and mighty aggressive, non-staled guitars riffs and blessed deal of non-standard varieties. Of course that it comes about the speed so characteristic for the genre that grind core is. But it's not about sterility, but melodies by keyboard can be heard also with ultra fast drums. And it is already this instrument that few would be able to accord with fast and strongly rhythms. And have I got to persuade someone that they are not tea favour? But would someone wait psychedelic, space cybernetic moods and that absolutely fitting to the global story of the coarse songs. Suppose nobody and somehow thus one of the faces of originality looks. Complex, hard metal music with rich sound.
    • Alex Brostl (Gwistexer zine, Slovakia)
      I have been totally scalped by two samples on recently released compilation „Horrible Fascination" and alike I weather now. Unbelievable power, energy surging from mad grindy rage underlain by keyboard melodies and insertions... magnificence! Right this element so unusual in metal sector insures MENTALITY´s own face and gives them better starting position. The songs acting like enormous cyclone, here and there some psycho come into being. Exceedingly intensive guitars, neck breaking fast drums and matured-to-details vocal, omnifarious screeches just shoot from Vlado´s throat. Wherever I look at this material from (also sound quality si excellent) I came to conclusion that MENTALITY are rank among the most superior bands in scene of here.
