1. SPIN Magazine, November 2003 - "For Those About to Rock" by Alex Pappademas
   Spin Magazine has laid down the law! "Satanicide are greatest hair metal band ever." "And...pose! And shred! And pose!" The article goes on to describe a Satanicide show, minute by minute - "We're happy to be here at Irving Plaza (Mayhem jokes, then waits out the laughter) It's a lot smaller than I expected. And y'all look a lot gayer than I expected. But we're gonna rock for you anyway!"

2. The New York Times, September 7, 2003 - "Cranking Up the Volume To Eleven, Just Like Their Heroes" by Hugo Lindgren.

3. Big Brother Magazine, December 2003 - Interview w/Devlin by Chris Nieratko
   Chris likes to get to the heart of things - here's a taste: "Have you ever dug up a dead monkey and skull f#@ked it? No, I'm gonna have to try that. Any crazy requests from fans for violence? Yeah, lots of requests from chicks wanting us to put a baby in them. Like a preexisting baby stuck back inside? You know, that could've been the case. I may have misinterpreted what they wanted, come to think of it."

4. The New York Post, Page Six, 2003 - by Mary Huhn
   Satanicide frequently turns up in the Post's gossip column. "Satanicide finished up their set Friday night at Bowery Ballroom with a surprise. As the rockers, featuring frontman Devlin Mayhem, twisted chords around their hit "Jer-Z Nites," the band pulled a sweaty, short, bespectacled, skinny, blad guy on stage from the mosh pit below. It was techno-rocker Moby, who joined the band on stage. Looks like he's a fan. He turned his back to the audience as he banged on the drums - and the stunned audience stopped slamming and stared."


5. Evil Genius Magazine, 2003 - "Cock Rock Lives!" by Liz Webster
   "Forget the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Satanicide is New York's shiniest musical diamond. And they're coming for your little sister." "They do more than make you nostalgic for raunchy guitar rock - they make you question why the genre ever disappeared in the first place."

6. Alloy, April 18th, 2003 - "Editor's It List"
   Teeny Bopper chicks LOVE Satanicide! "Long hair, noodling guitar riffs, and tight spandex: I love Satanicide because not only do they possess all three, but they've got a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor about how totally embarrassing heavy metal is."

7. East Coast Rocker, Local Noise, 2002 - "Giving The Devil His Due" by Hal B. Selzer
   "Satanicide are kicking some major ass in these parts. And they are old-time, whiskey drinking, big hair wearing, groupie collecting, pyro blowing rock-n-roll." Hal had a sit down interview with Devlin and Aleister to see what makes the band tick. How did the group get together? ALEISTER: "I had been working for years at the Sam Ash in Edison, NJ, on Route 27. Devlin would always come in and hang out. He never bought anything.. but we became buds anyway." What bands were the members in previously? DEVLIN: "Aleister and I were in a rush tribute band called Waves Permanente. The entire show consisted of the two of us, a bass player, and two drummers playing 2112 from beginning to end. We only played about two or three shows and then we broke up." ALEISTERr: "Yeah." DEVLIN: "Yeah." How would you describe your music? ALEISTER: "We play 101 proof, kick ass rock-n-roll. That's how I would describe it. The vibe is that we kick ass!!" DEVLIN: "And ROCK! We love to party!!! Did you mention that we kick ass?" ALEISTER: "Yeah." DEVLIN: "Cool." Any funny or interesting things happen at shows or in the studio? DEVLIN: "No, there is nothing funny about our shows. Nothing funny has ever happened at our shows. We are TOTALLY serious. The 'funny' and 'interesting' thing about it is how serious and unfunny our shows are. There was that one time that my hair got caught in Aleister's tuning pegs, while he was twirling around on stage, but that was just kinda painful and whatnot." ALEISTER: "Wait, remember that time that you shot your pyro gun off into the crowd, and that chick's hair caught fire?" DEVLIN: "Okay, I take it back, that was funny!"


8. Alternative Press (AP) - "100 New Bands You Need To Know In 2001"
   [Satanicide] Who: "Timewarp Jersey-shore '80s hair metal that only a bunch of jaded post-indie rockers from New York's Lower East Side could pull off."
   Sound Like: "Tenacious D with fuller hair and a fuller band. Satanicide's cover of 'The Titanic Theme' and the Dungeons & Dragons homage '20 Sided Die' have enough chops to cut through the schtick with a sharpness not unlike the pointy Peavy axes they play."


9. The Village Voice, July 9th, 2001 - "La Dolce Musto" by Michael Musto
   Musto praised Satanicide: "Satanicide gets it so right, from the studded T-shirts to the flicking tongues, devilish gestures, and recycled chords. Lead singer Devlin Mayhem wails like Axel Rose on (more) crack, performing so strenuously that he asks for a 10-minute break after the first song."

10. The New York Post, November 30th, 2001 - Rock Pick "Satanicide on Tap" by Mary Huhn
    "Satanicide more than mocks - it rocks! Live shows, inspired by '70s and '80s rockers - Kiss, AC/DC, and Guns N' Roses, are packed with devoted followers, who might find themselves dripping wet from stage spray, or on fire, literally, set alight by [singer Devlin] Mayhem's pyrotechnics."
