“Cambridge post-metallers The Grey make (largely instrumental) music that weighs down like few others – marrying the pummelling feel of a band like Neurosis or Karma To Burn to big themes with striking nuance and colour.
“Amongst the UK’s most ‘you-must-check-out’ bands, today’s early set feels like The Grey taking matters into their own hands. Off the back of this year’s awesome new LP KODOK, the Cambridge post-metallers seem emboldened again, with a sound swollen to earthquaking proportions. Oh, and to underline the point, old mucker/Will Haven vocalist Grady Avenell is along for the ride, probably sampling his first pre-noon festival performance in an age. There’s a knowing hardcore already crammed against the front barrier, but seeing the uninitiated wandering in with their morning coffee only to be levelled by the wall of sound is the real pleasure. Proceedings might get cut a little short as it is the opening slot, but the epic CHVRCH remains one of the most powerful songs to emerge from these isles in recent years.” – KERRANG
