“In life they say only two things are certain – death and taxes. This isn’t true, because there is a third. Which simply states that if Thumos have new music, it is going to be stunning. They’re a band that never fail to impress, always delivering meaningful and impactful post-metal, and once again, they bring us something that can be rightfully called transcendent.”
10/10
- GBHBL (UK)
"Thumos continue to fascinate me, with their unique way of describing without words, subjects that contain thousands. François de Nomé's painting, “Imaginary ruins” complements the metallic summary of Thumos in the best way, conquering “Atlantis”, a necessary addition to the disc library of every music lover, whose silence whispers more than words."
- Rockway.gr (Greece)
“Thumos knocks it out of the park once again, providing their fans with the best Instrumental Progressive Post-Metal currently available. If you’ve heard the band’s music before, then this is a must-hear, and if you’ve never heard Thumos before, this is still a must-hear.”
- Third Eye Psych Rock
“Thumos has yet again proven that the fusion of philosophy and metal is a perfect crossover. Their raw sound captures the ancient essence of these dialogues in a way that has never been done before. With each of their releases, Thumos gets better and better, expanding their sound and carving their own niche within the underground. A must listen, and probably their strongest release so far.”
- Runic Reviews
"Let’s get heavy again! Churning out the heaviest riffs between ancient Greece and “Atlantis” like there’s no tomorrow, the enigmatic four-piece Thumos is back at it with a monstrous, gargantuan 30 minutes EP featuring 3 cinematic 20 minute bangers of top notch instrumental post prog metal."
- The Progspace
“Influenced but not bound by touches of progressive and post movements. Thumos’s soundscapes are earthen in origin yet filled with the idealism that transcends and takes modern music with philosophy to create individual unique works of art that are exploratory, demanding and ultimately uplifting. Highly recommended.” 9/10
- The Coroner’s Report (New Zealand)
“At the risk of repeating what I’ve stated in previous reviews for this outfit, Thumos are quickly becoming one of the go to acts within the progressive post-metal sphere. If it’s a scene that interests you in any way, this is where you should be.” 4/5
- Sea of Tranquility
“When music merges with art, true masterpieces are born. Eclectic, hypnotic or atmospheric. Atlantis is inspiring and reflective. PostMetal, ProgRock, Doom, Instrumental, all in one. Absolutely masterful the new of Thumos.”
- Trueno Metalico
“Three instrumental tracks of grandiose, hypnotic, transcendent atmospheric noise that tears into the fabric of the heavens to unpick its rich tapestry through a sound that matches the artworks this EP, and each Thumos release, is adorned with.”
- Transmissions from the Dark (UK)
“Instrumentals are cinematic and vivid, and surprisingly catchy.”
