KISSING STRANGERS DURING AN OUTBREAK era
"Sectlinefor’s latest doesn’t just swing for the fences; it uses a skateboard to whack thumb tacks at everyone sitting in the bleachers. Kissing Strangers During an Outbreak is a hard-to-define, genre-bending exploration led by the creatively crazed, eager to break all the rules and then point and laugh at the shards." - Angry Metal Guy
"June DIY Album of the Month! 8.5/10" - Rock Hard Italy Magazine (Italian)
"This is not music for the fainthearted, but I can also imagine this being played at raves with strobes going and people sweating to the beat. If you like your music out of left field, then this is for you. 8/10" - House of Prog
"Kissing Strangers During An Outbreak” isn’t easy listening and it sure as hell isn’t meant for everyone; but for those who persist through that initial onslaught of delirium the seemingly random shapes and shades will suddenly begin to coalesce into a perfect picture of joy and release." - Bloody News
Nice long video interview with Jared and Papa G's House here!
"Sectlinefor create the sound for all those who don't even want to know which genre they are listening to. Kissing Strangers During An Outbreak is weird and in no second predictable without drifting into experimental insignificance. Many bands sing about madness, but this combo lives it out in a very authentic way." - Soundmagnet (German)
"The magic men are back - madder, sicker and more beautiful than ever before - and it’s time to lose yourself in the strangest dream you’ve never had." - FrontView Magazine
"It’s the vocal delivery which really nails up the hyper-glo Jesus, though. It runs the gamut from new romantic, to hardcore, returning via post-metal, and with a little something else lurking in the shadows. Often off kilter, always unhinged, it is a masterstroke of lunacy." - Slow Dragon Music
“A weird jumble of quality tracks for psychos high on ketamine, one would think. But also a record that will make you go for seconds, once you immersed yourself into its colorful and starkly illuminated soundscape.” - Rock Music Raider
“If they’d said, as bands do, that this is for fans of Sparks then I would believe it. We’re either in the theatre or the lunatic asylum. Our duo of vocalists [sic] have lost the plot. The dark electro beat goes on.” - Ave Noctum
“This is Kissing Strangers During An Outbreak, the wildly irreverent, deliberately disturbing third album from the unclassifiable Sectlinefor. Rarely has a release displayed such utter disregard for convention, such contempt for accepted boundaries.” - Imperative PR
"Piton has no favourite bands. He just listens to washing machines and power drills." - Jared Woods, interview with Breathing the Core
"Colourful and crazy new album." - Underground ‘N Proud
"The band have an ear for a tune and a talent for unearthing poignant emotions amid the most incongruent and irksome of experiments. This would be a decent album, if they didn’t put so much emphasis on annoying the listener with their camp vocal theatrics." - Scream Blast Repeat
"...seriously, WTF is this?" - Third Eye Cinema
"What I hear on this third album is disturbing, funny, disgusting... 4/10" - Dargedik (Spanish)
"Why; Tell me why? That is, why should I always fall into cases? I want someone to come and tell me that what I am hearing at the moment is just a bad dream, that something like this has not been released. Unfortunately, I know that none of the above is going to happen and that's what bothers me the most.... 30%" - Greek Rebels (Greek)
DON'T MAKE THIS ABOUT YOU era
"I can almost guarantee that if you make it all the way through this confused psychotic mess of an album you will wonder if I should be carted off to the loony bin [...] Their debut album pushed the boundaries, [Don't Make This About You] refuses to believe they even exist. 9/10." - House of Prog
"Just as weird as the music are artwork and lyrics. I can only warmly recommend the album Don't Make This About You. I loved it from the first moment. It pulls you in, otherwise you've missed something!" - Metalogy (German)
"Its stylistic variety comes from the union of Piton on guitar, which also belongs to the technical death metal band YGODEH, and the vocalist Jared, obsessed with vocal textures, hence his tonal changes from clean, circus, narrated voices, torn, sharp ..., an album to listen to several times." - Necromance (Spanish)
"I grow taller with each compliment" - Jared Woods, interview with Battle Helm.
"A potpourri of dissociative, auditory hallucination and psychotic elements on a Tuesday." - Metalfan (Dutch)
ANOREXIC INSECT era
"These are the Sectlinefor, a band of destructive noise and roaring. The guitarist Piton reminds Al Jourgensen of Ministry: the industrial touch at this avalanche of cold and sharp stratifications is made even more threatening by Jared's vocalizations. The frontman wears a bear suit and then becomes a ballerina with a red tutu, letting the loss of total control and madness. They unleash a collective reaction that is not indifferent." - Rockerilla (Italian)
"Here we have music that is pushing the boundaries, creating something that is vibrant, brutal, and uncompromising at all levels, and I love it. The more I play it the more I find within it, as the layers open - there is no way that this should make nearly as much sense as it does, but for those who don't want their music to be 4/4 and boring then look no further than this." - MLWZ
"Anorexic Insect is a rare and exhilarating proposition. As mentioned some will run from its inner terrors and emotional turmoil but those with instinctive adventure in their tastes will be rewarded with one of the early true treats of 2017." - The Ring Master Review
"In a duality between real-man and man-character, Jared introduces us to a black comedy called "Anorexic Insect," the new album of cinematic and storytellers Sectlinefor." - Interview with Ultraje (Portugese)
"All that is said, this Anorexic Insect is predicted to be one of the most exciting debut of the year." - The Bible of Metal (Italian)
"You are the worst band I've ever heard." - Some old man, O2 Islington Show
