“Return To Earth deliver a synth slice of infectious gold. Guilty pleasure or not, when it’s bloody good music, that’s all that matters and Octavius is bloody good music.”
Wonderbox Metal
“So many ideas and creative expressions…it’s hard to take it all in at once. Thankfully the songwriting, delivery, and charismatic vocals tie everything together well. Whether it’s big choruses, industrial snarls, or soft crooning, (Scalzo) has what it takes to deliver the goods.”
