“The Dawn No More Rises.”
“Bane is an excellent band. Within a genre that is often stagnant, they have many standout elements, including powerful and diverse vocals, present bass, and outstanding drumming. Chaos, Darkness, and Emptiness is chock full of evidence that these guys are capable of meandering between different styles and feels with ease.” – The New Review
“Some very competent and confident melodic black/death metal.” – Teeth of the Divine
“The next big thing. The album offers a slab of melodic black/death metal with a lot of variation and huge balls.” – Metal-Archives (95/100)
“Easily one of the stronger black metal offerings The Eagle has heard in quite some time, the villainous Bane receives a rare four-talon salute for this work of musical feverishness.”
– The Metal Register (4/5)
“Excellent melodic black metal. Bane definitely has enough of its own character to separate itself from the imitators. I would definitely recommend this album for fans of Dimmu Borgir, Catamenia, Dissection, Old Man’s Child, etc.”
– Malicious Intent
Practically everything surrounding Chaos, Darkness & Emptiness screams professionalism, from the massively ace production quality to the level of aggression found within the band’s compositions. Bane clearly have an ever-present focus in mind, and seem determined to bring Serbian metal up front and fucking center to the underground consciousness.” – Metal Army America
“Bane performs a mix of black and death metal with strong production and an intense focus on the riffing over sheer vitriolic speed. The mix itself is quite enormous and the compositions are never boring. May indeed appeal to fans of numerous genres.”
– From the Dust Returned
“Song arrangements are up to the point and concrete, players are competent on their instruments, the songs are interesting enough so the album just flies by. Definitely Recommended.” – Metal-Sound
