(click link for full review)"…Two years after first coming together, Boston's Motherboar wade into the murky waters of the post-stoner rock pool with this raucous, sludgy, unapologetically heavy seven track mini-LP."
"…Badass Boston boogie comin' at ya full boar (sic), so cock your fist or fist your cock 'cause it's kill or be killed when Motherboar sets acid to tongue and cranks out unearthly volts of cinder block rock that hits your ass like prison sex."
"…The Mötorhead of stoner has emerged."
"…Did somebody order pizza? Because this shit delivers."
"…Hell yes, after this New England outfit's killer demo outing I was ready and waiting for them to unleash a full-length. That time has finally arrived as Raise the Death Toll is now in my hands, featuring 7 tracks of their patented sludge n' roll mayhem."
"…Next to Scissorfight, the unrooooooliest mammoths in stoner-sludgedom to rumble the bowels of the stonerati round here be MOTHERBOAR, who led a Turbonegro-meets-Lord of the Flies grabass bacchanal up at Hellgate last summer...""…Throngs of sweaty kids were tearing into each other in a frenzied bacchanal of drunken moshing, spewing PBR everywhere, banging their heads like their necks were about to snap, all of them swinging and thrashing together like a wild beast with a million arms and legs at quite possibly the most riotous house party Allston had seen in a while. And what was the cause of this insanity on the humid evening of August 20? It could only be the glorious monster born of Boston's metal music scene, the fierce fivesome known as Motherboar."
"…like the bastard love-child of the last Corrosion of Conformity LP and Clutch. You will snap your neck banging your head to their brakedowns, I guarantee."
"…New England's version of midwestern sludge (Fistula, Jumbo's Killcrane, etc) – suffocating distortion, raspy vocals, and all out rage and despair."
"…These guys combine ultra-groovy sludge, hardcore, straight-up metal and a little bit of Motorhead boogie for one of the tightest sounding demos I've heard in awhile."
"…The greatest asset to this band is their music, it's fast, bassy, and overall pretty fucking good. I'd love to see these guys live sometime. If you like Scissorfight, Sam Black Church, or Mastadon, I'd definitely recommend that you check these guys out."
