“Conjures the best of fuzzed-out, bluesy, Seventies-era jams. The influences of the Detroit-based band lie in the bell-bottom era, yet it's tough to place any one entry point. Octopus keep it fresh."
Revolver Magazine

“A wicked style of fuzz rock that draws blood.”
New Noise

“Smoldering riffs and soulful vocals, vintage yet modern… Octopus plays music in a way only rock bands from Detroit can.”
Decibel

“A hard slice of underground rock, with Matt O’Brien’s bass going so low it could hit the earth’s core.”
Battle Helm

“Led by powerhouse vocalist Masha Marjieh and guitarist J Frezzatto (ex-Electric Six!) and including ex-Big Chief bassist Matt O’Brien, the band soaks hard riffs and otherworldly atmospheres in wah-wah guitars, out-of-phase tones, grimy organ and a general sense of the children having pillaged the psychedelic pantry a few times before hitting the studio. Heavier than your average 70s-worshipping gang of stoners, but more colorful than unrefined metallic sludge, Supernatural Alliance will rattle your lobes and juice your ‘nads.”
Throwing Horns

“Very druggy.”
Third Eye Cinema

“Red-eyed headbangers everywhere should be champing at the bit to blast the debut record from Detroit’s Octopus. Octopus masterfully modernize the keyboard-driven shag-carpet sound. Massive and heavy. Superby tight songwriting and stylistic variety. One look at that album cover should give you an idea exactly what you’re in for: fantasy, sci-fi, ardor, majesty and triumph.
Heavy Blog is Heavy

“Packed to the gills with power, groove and rollicking ferocity. Despite the references to classic acts, Supernatural Alliance is a thoroughly modern machine.Tough-as-nails glam, triumphant fantasy metal, a viscous, sludgy bog of psych-doom--Dio with a lightsaber instead of a sword.” Metal Nexus

“This is a killer debut. Straight-up 70’s-influenced hard rock, unapologetic and true. Liquid, muscular riffs, a fuzzed-out hard rock gallop and day-glo synths. Marjieh flat-out kills on this record. I fully expect to see Supernatural Alliance represented on a few year-end best of lists. I’ve little doubt it’ll be on mine.”
Metal Nation

“A mind-blowing release which can knock you down in a single punch.”
The Progressive Aspect

“Blistering… Not to be taken lightly.”
Lyrical Spell Magazine

“Go get it. NOW.”
Metal Temple

“Spacy and cosmic. Some heavy shit.”
Headbangers Lifestyle
