“This album is art in the purest sense, an honest and complete reflection of the artist’s soul. Excellent, excellent, excellent.” 9/10 Laura Barnes // EVER METAL (U.K.)

“The maturity of a musician who reinvents himself without losing his characteristic handwriting. The album oscillates between melancholic contemplation and optimistic departure - just like the facets of a long journey. JoeyDiabolic reveals himself as an artist brave enough to push his musical boundaries. This album is an ode to the unpredictable, daring to try new things while staying true to yourself.” 9/10 AM:PLIFIED (GERMANY)

“Well, this is quite a tone-shift for JoeyDiabolic and it sure will cause some debate amongst fans. Many will love it, some may loathe it, but one thing everyone will be able to agree on is that it encapsulates the creative force that is JoeyDiabolic. Expect the unexpected and appreciate an artist that is as imaginative as JoeyDiabolic is.” 8/10 Carl Fisher // GBHBL (Games, Brains and a Head-Banging Life - U.K.)

“The perfect soundtrack to put on for a long reflective drive.” Jon Barbas // METAL DIGEST (GERMANY)

‘Se7en’ is a thrilling journey through nightmarish worlds and horror stories. The EP wonders between a number of moods and atmospheres, each one evoking a different response. This smorgasbord of styles and sounds combines into a charismatic offering of JoeyDiabolic‘s musicality and creativity.” HR // DEVIATE PR (U.K.)

“Saturated in the sounds of the 80’s and 90’s all while drenched in the thematic essence of gothic and horror. Some might call it pure nostalgia, others will hear something deeper… industrial offerings from an afflicted soul, all while conveying JoeyDiabolic’s ingenuity as an artist.” NEW NOISE MAGAZINE (U.S.)

“Very cool box set for those who love both electronic, industrialized music and classic slasher films… It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be. See it UNBOXED: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOyHTd5XEng Favorite track: “A Nightmare On Elm Street (feat. Mama Doom)” Flight of Icarus // METAL TRENCHES (U.S.)

"Through Soundwaves: The Complete Series’ showcases JoeyDiabolic’s affinity for horror, metal, and his ingenuity as an artist." Keefy // GHOST CULT MAGAZINE (U.S.)

“For those of us who just love industrial music, Joey Diabolic has pulled together something masterful on ‘Through Soundwaves Vol. IV’.” Matt Bacon // TWO METAL GUYS REVIEWS (U.S)

“One listen to ‘Surreal Love’ is enough to realize that Diabolic is more than capable of whipping up nostalgia on brand new and original material” REAL GONE ROCKS (U.K.)

“JoeyDiabolic and guest vocalist D. Lolli (of Mama Doom) take the guts of Billy Idol’s ‘Flesh For Fantasy’ and gives the song the full industrial treatment, shifting between the sub-Nine Inch Nails mechanics of a strong verse into a heavier chorus where moody male vocals and a clean female tone suggest a love for KMFDM.” REAL GONE ROCKS (U.K.)

“I Am The Shadow In The Darkness”, an eerie mood piece that unsettles effectively with more Mode-worship dressed up in Type O/Manson 90’s creepiness. It’s a monumental song of the record that evokes all the good stuff that horror cinema is made of... Wes Craven would be proud.” John Morrow // UBER ROCK (U.K.)

“His sound, unique as Freddys’s glove, infuses rock, metal, horror metal, industrial goth and more to give you a horror-scape of sound that fans of any metal genre can appreciate.” Emma Jaye // SCREAMER MAGAZINE (U.S.)

“Through Soundwaves Vol 3” is a interesting, compelling EP. the rebirth of unhinged, cinematic electro metal (which isn’t a thing but I invented it about 15 seconds ago) starts here.” Andy Thorley // MAXIMUM VOLUME (U.K.)

“JoeyDiabolic's "Save Yourself" is an extraordinary cover of American industrial rock band Stabbing Westward's song.” TERRA RELICTA (SLOVENIA)

“Who in their right mind dares to approach the work of the tortured genius of Trent Reznor? ...a guy from Newburgh, NY and he assembles such a brutal and exaggerated mash-up version of “Gave Up” and “The Perfect Drug” that it turns your head..” NECROMANCE (SPAIN)

“JoeyDiabolic uses the same speed and chaos that NIN is known for, but is less minimalistic, resulting in a much fuller sound.” Bart Meijer // ARROW LORDS OF METAL (NETHERLANDS)

“JoeyDiabolic is most successful in the concrete-melting eight-string siege.” Kris Hadermann // ZWARE METALEN (NETHERLANDS)

“JoeyDiabolic's end result of "Love Like Blood" has the necessary metal hook to leave you with a good taste in your mouth.” Cesar Luis Morales // NECROMANCE (SPAIN)
