[Matthias Noll: "All hail the mighty Heavy Metal riff! _CiF_ is based on the wicked groove of Celtic Frost without copying their trademark guitar work and sound. Metallic to the bone, straightforwardness and simplicity prevail here. Sounding suspiciously close to the only released Eibon track, this is another nail into the already more than well-sealed coffin of once true Norwegian black metal. I'm already afraid of the next pan continental collaborations to come. A "featuring Burton C. Bell" sticker on the next Carpathian Forest, maybe? Still, this is highly enjoyable once the music does the talking."]

[Paul Schwarz: "Not as embarrassingly desperately seeking "necro" points as labelmates Gorelord, Wurdulak use Celtic Frost as the basis for the mostly-groovy, sometimes-blasting retro-necro black metal sound they present with their debut album, _Ceremony in Flames_. Their sincerity and probable longevity are certainly questionable, but Wurdulak have nonetheless made a good album in _CiF_ -- even if it is a sonically shallow and musically unoriginal album."]
