Final Press Round Up for News From The Invisible World:
"Cult British instrumentalists add vocals and instantly up their game 8/10" Classic Rock Magazine
“Modern progressive rock anthems with dirty great riffs, some glam stomp & introspective interludes, packed full of tunes & invention. An album aiming for the stars…” De Selbys Golden Hours
“For daring to do something different and potentially out of their comfort zone, this is right up there as one of my albums of the year.” Background
“Spiked with moments of blistering psychedelic splendour, and gritty, stoner vibes, feeding off the energy of bands like Baroness and Queens Of The Stone Age. News From The Invisible World breeds new life into the band and brings an energy that is infectious, forward thinking and fierce! And that goes in no small way to the introduction of vocals, courtesy of bassist, Kev Feazey.” The Smashing Skull Sessions
“I have enjoyed this many times already. A band with its own style. There aren't many like that. Brilliant.” IO Pages
"The Fierce & the Dead have created their best album. I have nothing against their instrumental past—I’m still a fan. But News from the Invisible World has character, personality, and heart in addition to the pumping blood and sweaty hands at the band’s heart. The combination is colorful and just so fun to hear and now sing along with, too." The PROG Mind
“A central ethic clearly intent on not sounding any more like anyone else than it has to…..given Feazey‘s apparent comfort with the task before him, it’s a wonder they didn’t make this shift earlier, but they do well in making up for lost time.” The Obelisk
"I thoroughly enjoyed News From The Invisible World by The Fierce & The Dead and recommend you check it out. This should be up your alley if you like intricate progressive rock songwriting and music that makes you think. Enjoy!" The Third Eye
“Spiked with moments of blistering psychedelic splendour, and gritty, stoner vibes” Smashing Skull Sessions
“A band with its own style. There aren't many like that. Brilliant.” IO Pages
"This has ‘Album of the Year’ written right through it….It’s a world class record by a band who deserve worldwide recognition.” The Progressive Aspect
“News From The Invisible World sees TFATD taking a bold step forward” Prog Magazine
"Smacks of Bowie or Gabriel at their best" The Album Review Channel
"The work of a truly original band pushing forth and genuinely progressing” Real Gone
“Musical genius, up there with Bowie and co” Martin Kielty (Classic Rock/Prog/Metal Hammer)
"It's just WEIRD and AWESOME at the same time. Give it space, give it a break, let it play, immerse yourself, take a break. But one thing is certain, you won't find such a strange thing just like that. This is News From The Invisible World and you're going to love it."
“One of the most influential instrumental bands of recent years have added vocals to their music… prime Faith No More but with a more laid back vocal approach…like A-ha met with the Gorillaz and asked Billy Corgan to join in the fun. This is a band raising their game to the highest level and that is really where they belong…” Prog Radar
“If I had a time machine I’d take The Fierce and the Dead back to the early ’90s, as I’m 100 per cent sure they’d be cover stars in Select magazine thanks to this record…BBC 6 Music should be all over this like a rash.” TPA
"At this stage of their career, they can do no wrong. Upward and onward" Here Comes The Flood
“9/10…this is an album you want to mark on your calendars whether you’re a fan of Gorillaz, Rush or Elbow” Audio Autopsy
"There are moments when I think I hear Peter Gabriel jamming with the Bad Seeds" Soundcheck.Network

"For a band to change their sound, I can't imagine them doing it a whole lot better” The Prog Corner
"If ever there was a British equivalent to The Flaming Lips, it would be the experimental, psychedelic explosion of noise and colour that is The Fierce And The Dead....I love this record for its musical accomplishments and it’s balls to stay away from the norms. 9/10" Musipedia Of Metal
"Together with Prosperina, Our Man in the Bronze Age, and Boss Keloid, THE FIERCE AND THE DEAD are my new favourite band from the UK scene. Overall, this album is a definite AOTY contender for everyone that will give it a listen" Doom Charts
"The Fierce and the Dead have made another special album" Rockmuzine
"Is "News From the Invisible World" a prog album or is it something else entirely is a question best thrashed out on the interweb's many prog rock forums, for now let's just enjoy it for what it is and that is a damn fine album of intelligently put together music." Stoner King
“A wild and yet coherent ride through Shoegaze, Post Rock, Prog, Alternative Rock, deep into the blood-stained realms of Death Metal and back." MangoWave Music Magazine
“Yeah, it’s complex and utterly bonkers but at the same time, this is also an album that is f**king fearless and a superbly entertaining listen from start to finish. News From The Invisible World is The Fierce & The Dead’s most complex and astonishing release to date.” Outlaws Of The Sun
"News From The Invisible World" is an album to listen to over and over again to discover new nuances. The Fierce and The Dead have managed to take their musical journey to a new level, delivering a vibrant, genre-bending record that definitely shows their experimental side.” AM:plified - Das Magazin für starke Musik
“A wonderful blend of classic Prog and modern Hard Rawk that packs quite the wallop. If you’ve been into TFATD since their beginnings then Version 2.0 is sure to still hit in all the right places and if you’ve never heard the band before then you’re in for a treat!” Rock And Roll Fables
"The result is the band’s best album yet, and a shining example of how an unexpected change of direction can breathe new life into a band" Expose

"This album is their ‘OK Computer’, one that is sure to stand the test of time and give the listener hours of listening pleasure.” Get Ready To Rock
