Every time it finishes I realize that I'm standing in the middle of the room, fists clenched, eyes wide, delirious for more – so I start it up again and again and again, and every time I start it over I feel like I’m hearing an old favorite and the greatest new thing on the planet at the same time. – Mass Movement Magazine
The songs are short, punchy, violent outbursts and the high-speed nature keeps the pulse pounding throughout. As a soundtrack to leaping off speaker stacks or hurling Molotov cocktails at squads of Riot Policemen this will do the job perfectly – Punkprospect.com
Brutal, direct and uncompromising, there’s a mad-eyed, wild-dog ferocity to this. Teeth-bared, intense hardcore that rushes past with no grace; just jagged, uncomfortable destruction. Bare-bones, rattling hardcore punk that will rattle the teeth in your skull – Only Fumes & Corpses are a wrecking crew of haste and chaos. – keepitfast.com
A belligerent distillation of everything that has endeared OFAC to heavy music fans 8/10 – drop-d
You can almost feel the sweat flying from their brows, see limbs flailing against drums and strings. There's no pretending here. Clearly unafraid to play around with expectations of what a hardcore band should be or do, Only Fumes & Corpses have really captured their essence here – Thumped.com
There’s no real way we can do this album justice through mere words. The only way to really get to grips with it is by plugging yourself in and letting the pure ferocity wash through you. – Hevypetal.com
If you like it damn heavy, and fast as sex with Superman then give it a listen – Born Again Nihilist
The band manages to touch on a vast number of genres and influences whilst retaining a no-nonsense, aggressive punk approach. Maintaining punk traditions in the form of socially aware lyrics, the album also sees flashes of blastbeats, D-beat and Trash Talk-esque hardcore fury served up with some pretty impressive musicianship. This is an enraged, vital little record that will be sure to have people reaching for the repeat button as soon as the record has past them in a snotty punk blur. 4/5 – Twobeatsoff.co.uk
The Torchbearers for hardcore in their country – Big Cheese Magazine
It’s completely contagious, full of power and colour, and guaranteed to get you fired up. That alone means it’s required listening 4.1 / 5 – Metal Ireland
One hell of an exciting EP to listen to...the fast paced movements throughout get you shifting, jumping, punching the air and thanking whatever God you believe in that there’s still proper, hard-faced and full on punk music being produced out there… will leave you wanting more, leave you shaking, and leave you knowing you’ve just stumbled upon one hell of a band…If you like proper HC-Punk, then this is a band you need to hear – Loud-stuff.com
An abrasive and cutting assault of violent energy and brutal intensity which no one could possibly ignore. Selfish Act I is an excellent riot of hardcore punk brought with skill, expression, and most of all passion. It offers all the destructive antagonism and will you could require in a release whilst giving it individuality to set Only Fumes & Corpses apart from most other similarly driven bands. Angst has never been so slight yet so impactful. – The Ringmaster Review
