The previously posted review condensed for Sain magazines July issue:
"Visionary guitarist Davide Tiso has expanded Ephel Duath's line-up with an assortment of untypical musicians in order to flesh out his aural vision of an undiluted twist of jazz and black metal sounds. No sooner does "The Passage (Pearl Grey)" start, then you are bombarded with a host of sounds flowing from one genre to the next. Trying to decipher any particular moment isn't easy with the equally static melodic moments/extreme metal/jazz infused sounds in "The Unpoetic Circle (Bottle Green)" and "Labyrinthine (Crimson)", while the instrumental "Praha (Ancient Gold)" and "Ironical Communication (Amber)" delve more on the progressive/jazz side of things. The Painter's Palette is sure to be labelled as original, difficult and in a class of its own."

Kerrang
Former Black Metallers Invent New Genre: Jazzcore, anyone?
"It seems Scandinavia is not the only place capable of turning black metal on its head. As they displayed on their debut album Phormula, Italians Ephel Duath also have a wanton disregard for the foundations of the genre. Now, with The Painter's Palette, they have almost completely abandoned the style, instead presenting a hybrid mixture of progressive rock, free jazz and American noisecore. If the idea of The Dillinger Escape Plan doing King Crimson covers while Coltrane improvises over the top makes your blackened stomach turn, then by all means, avoid this album like the plague. But if experimentalism is right up your alley, and you are looking for an album that will truly surprise you at every turn, then this is it." - KKKK
