Metal -Rules.com - "After catching Vehement once before and being blown away by their previous set at the Black Heart, they are a welcome addition to tonight’s bill. Right from the outset, the quartet barge onward with a grim sounding array of Black Metal sensibilities."

-"Impressive and technically proficient, Vehement pull no punches when it comes to awakening beast like growls and bursting into flurries of blast beats and solos that push everything forward into that higher realm you’d expect from any decent Black Metal band."

distortedsoundmag.com - "...operatic vocals occasionally offered by their bassist alongside the traditional rasps from their primary vocalist are theatrical in a very tasteful manner."

getyourrockout.co.uk - "South coast metallers Vehement fought back from some initial sound issues to deliver what would be one of my standout sets of Bloodstock...Musically they had a nice abrasive black metal guitar tone, droning notes and raspy vocals, however with a slightly more progressive tone to it similar to emperor at times. I really enjoyed their performance and judging by the large responses so did the majority of the crowd. Definitely a standout New Blood set for me."
