“If you guys are after the whole metal scene, Killswitch-Lamb of God area, you’re well on your way. Great chord progressions and an awesome vocalist for sure. Band shreads, cool stuff.”
- Dave Fortman, Producer (Evanescence, Mudvayne)
“SODT-CRUSHING music, paired with one of the strongest singers I’ve ever heard in this genre. Rapture, Temple and FNSL are a testament to a talented, hard-working band that’s ready to explode on the scene.”
- Tom Polce, Producer (CBS Records)
“I hear Power in Spools of Dark Thread, the power to rock your face off. Those who prefer their mayhem smothered in melody will grin wider than Giant’s fans on Super Sunday when they tap into Spools’ ultra-melodic hard rock. Disturbed and Killswitch get you off? Meet your new volume dealer.” - Dave Herrera, Westword Magazine
“The future is bright as can be for Spools of Dark Thread. And if what they have accomplished in about one year is any indication of things to come, we may very well be looking at the next Colorado band to make some enormous national waves.”
- Jake Ryan, Colorado Local Legends
“Spools of Dark Thread create songs that touch me. Compelling intensity, driven by passionate vocals, soaring guitars and heart-pounding beats. I am proud to call them one of my all-time favorite Colorado bands.” - Tommy Nahulu, Colorado Music Buzz Magazine
“Rage, beauty and artful finesse... Spools’ are of another calibur. Are you ready for them?" - Mark Sundermeier, Sadstar Productions
