 Review of: Songs From A Vanishing World

 "This album definitely ticks the boxes for writing about the world, but has it overstepped it's mark?"

 "Maybe this is what makes the band and music so great; their willingness to submit the truth of the world, and what it could succumb to?"

 "DESCENDANTS OF CAIN just want to educate the masses and get into our heads what we could do, now or one day. Overall, Sounds from a Vanishing World creates mixed feelings, definitely worth seeing for yourself though.”

 Review of: Songs From A Vanishing World

 "As the band says themselves: ‘Religion, politics, human behaviour, and environmental issues have always been at the forefront of DoC’s lyrical content."

 "Yet these vocals that can turn bad are also the strongest point of the album, dark and deep they have an impressive character behind them but overkill hurts it a bit in this case."

 "Also a very great aspect on this album is the artwork, which is simply stunning."
