Autumns End on MySpace "A brutal and harmonious hybrid of melodic death metal bathed with acoustic guitars, harmony vocals, and technical musicianship. A blend between Opeth, Neurosis, Machine Head, Sepultura, Meshuggah, Lamb of God, and a tiny splash of Johnny Cash to mix with our Arizona made attitude."
Metaleater.com – 9 out of 10 “AUTUMN'S END are a band that single handedly redefines what we've come to know about the North American Metal scene.”
Blabbermouth.net – 8 out of 10 “Put simply, "Act of Attrition" is one cool extreme metal album and proof that there are still a few worthy acts lurking in the U.S.”
RockMyMonkey.com – 8 out of 10 “Act of Attrition by Autumn’s End is a brilliant album. It is only a matter of time before these guys blow up in the scene.”

Deadtide.comThis album will easily appeal to anyone into thrash, melodic death metal, technical death metal, and even brutal death. This is some really good shit, plain and simple.
Apeshit.orgThis is easily one of the top bands to watch as 2006 winds down, and AUTUMN’S END should be headlining their own U.S. tours in the not-so-distant future if they keep up this kind of effort.
Zia Zine Issue November 2006“If you’re a metal-loving maniac but you’re not into fashion-centric kiddy-metal bands who weren’t even alive when metal was as its peak in the 80’s, Autumn’s End is the bloodcurdling cure.”
Maelstrom.com“(Act of Attrition) combines a Satanic, black metal mentality with a more moderate musical style: some harmonized singing, slow, melodic guitar lines and down-tempo drumming fall among the harder portions.

Metaleater.com – 8 out of 10AUTUMN'S END may just be the penultimate American counter-response to the wave of brilliance flowing out of Sweden in the form of OPETH and others. Diverse, effective, driving, energized, dominating and enthralling, AUTUMN'S END embody the greatest aspects of American Metal and have spliced them in a collage of succinct brutality, thick and meaty rhythms, melodic tendencies and resonant acoustic beauty, resulting in a sound that is both instantly distinct and uncompromisingly compelling.

Phoenix New TimesThe most promising band in the local metal scene. Autumn's End keeps it dark and heavy, and pretty much exemplifies Arizona metal: shredding guitars and growling guys in black cowboy hats. Autumn's End is a must for fans of Black Dahlia Murder and Lamb of God.
Crave MagazineThis album is better than a lot of mainstream music out there. I think a lot of people could really get behind this album and support this band.
