“The music is plenty heavy, plenty vicious, and a big body-mover — rumbling and jolting and putting a spring-loaded ax to your neck, with a panoply of guttural growls, strangled snarls, and frightening screams adding to the song’s bleak and brutish antagonism.” – NO CLEAN SINGING (on “Hands, Switchblades, and Vile Vortices”)

“Taking its basis in a heavy slogging sludge rock informed by death metal and able to establish that kind of declarative presence even before shifting into its speedier midsection. They use the chorus well amid various guitar solos, and if you don’t find the subject matter disturbing, the inability to place Chorosia easily within a given metallic microniche might do the trick. Either way, it’s nasty stuff” – The Obelisk (on “Hands, Switchblades, and Vile Vortices”)

"This may ‘only’ be an EP, but it’s one of the better sludge efforts released in 2023." – Metal Storm Magazine

"It’s a disturbing release in a good way, because you can’t really get the point – is it plainly traditional or maddeningly experimental, relaxed or intense, brutal or enlightening? But one thing is certain – there’s not even a hint of mainstream or predictability, Stray Dogs just flows with the wind avoiding improvisations, intentionally building those intricate webs of diversity." – Antichrist Magazine

“The band also immerses itself perfectly in slow, post-doom/sludge sounds, as in the track Reflections, which starts off atmospheric soundscapes, with clean vocals, and develops into a doom metal beast with growling vocals and rawest sounds from hell that are out there.” – Monarch Magazine

“An added draw of Stray Dogs is its willingness to journey beyond the nihilism and misanthropy associated with sludge. Sure, there are blastbeats, death growls, and bass bombs low enough to play my ribcage like a marimba, but stirring in anthemic, playful melodies solidified the record as one I can return to often without slipping into a spiral of negativity.” - Toilet ov Hell (Top Albums of 2023)

“Gerade der eröffnende Titeltrack porträtiert das grimmige und schmutzige Gesicht des Genres ganz gut. Auch kommt hier das progressive Element zum Tragen wie auch ein gewisser Groove.” – Vampster Magazine
