“Progressive enough to stand next to Faith No More, heavy enough to open for Mudvayne, and good enough to push Disturbed and other radio whores off the dial. If you're willing to give music a chance for the sake of finding a diamond in the rough, Died Smiling might just be your jackpot. Much like Mudvayne, they stand out and shine high above the crowd and live on long after most other fellow genre-men have fizzled and died. If you're up for an interesting, albeit rewarding listen, give Evolution of the Fist a listen...or two. If corporate radio can eat up bands like Slipknot, Mudvayne, and Disturbed, then in a perfect world, Died Smiling would be on top of the rock radio throne. Deadtide September 2005
"Died Smiling have produced a sound any metal band would be proud of and one that stands as one the best underground metal albums of the year in Rockbeast’s eyes combining melodic vocals with sheer brutality. With ear screeching solos, pulsing drums and heavy bass Died Smiling have it all on nine tracks. The future seems very bright for Died Smiling indeed, they just get better and better" Rockbeast September 2005
"Drawing a strong influence from Tool and blending it with the unique power that Sepultura could offer, Died Smiling hit you with an incredibly original and fresh sound. Died Smiling have favoured complexity over noise, and as a result you have one of the most openly creative bands the last few years have seen. This album is a journey of dynamic creation and innovation...pick up "Evolution Of The Fist" as soon as you can. 12/13"

"Devon’s Died Smiling definitely extract their influences from the American heavy rock, megaton blast-hitting community. Pantera, Sepultura - the list is endless yet this debut effort draws necessary, and flattering, comparisons to those monoliths. Died Smiling are set to be a huge credit to the UK metal fraternity" New Noise September 2005
"Bloody go and have a listen of the 9-track album at your local record store...most probably, you'll end up buying the thing! 90/100" Concrete Web September 2005
