\"THERMATE’s juggernaut through the radioactive desert continues unabated with “Redshift City”! Six delicious, dripping Stoner riff-outs with all the verve and cocksure attitude we know and love!\"
Reek of STOOM (Stoner HiVe)
\"Arthur Thure’s vocals are perfectly suited to wringing every last drop of emotion out of the Finnish quartet’s finest work: Thermate’s swaggering frontman boasts a throaty range to die for and rarely delivers anything less than 100 per cent fury. Trading top billing with twin guitar threat Mikko Väätäinen and Juuso Honkanen, Thure coasts through Redshift City and it’s difficult to believe this is the band’s full-length debut.\"
(Rushonrock)
\"Thermate is one of the best 70s-style stoner metal bands out there right now. They make some very slinky and sexy riff rock that I defy you to not involuntarily bob your head to. Their latest record, Redshift City, is a reminder that just because a style is established doesn’t mean it should go ignored.\"
(Heavy Blog Is Heavy)
\"THERMATE are among the more original representatives of the inextricably dense Stoner Doom pool. They win in particular with their strong singer and imaginative handling of relatively little motivic material, without becoming monotonous for even a single moment.\"

\"This is another album that really benefits from subsequent listens, and has enough merits that it deserves more than just a single cursory run through.\"
(Metal Temple)
\"Vocalist Arthur Thure has a great voice, languid and measured, but brimming over with a great melodic intent throughout. Likewise the twin guitars of Mikko Väätäinen and Juuso Honkanen are used to very good effect, none more so than on the fabulous '100 Years'. Sure, it's a genre that's over-populated by mediocrity at times, but thankfully Thermate are anything but mediocre\"
