“The opening track ‘The Light Within’ starts with drums, alongside some delicious synth and guitar, very much akin to the likes of The Enid. But it launches into an indulgent guitar solo, which just has Brian May written all over it, and some ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ vocal harmonies.”

“The album has a very 80s feel in a lot of the guitar work, with often thrash-inspired riffs causing severe head-bopping. He also brings in some early power metal feel every once in a while. In any case, it’s a lot of guitar wizardry. He effortlessly keeps up with whatever time signature shenanigans the band goes through, and plays all sorts of intricate riffing patterns and fancy lead work.”

“HEYOKA'S MIRROR are moving on the same paths that they took on the EP. Sometimes more towards metal, sometimes towards rock, a little 'dream theater' here, a little 'yes' there.”

“They’re quite eccentric and sometimes like to startle you or just hit you in the head with something you’d least expect. I’ve always liked being taken by surprise and I guess that’s Heyoka’s Mirror’s biggest strength.”

“One could pick out a range of bands that have similar appeals as Heyoka’s Mirror, with similarities to Haken showing through the more progressive touches in “Heavy Rain,” while the unbridled explosion of madness of “The Darkness Within” may be compared to System of a Down.”
