"Cara Neir have gone to the grind and powerviolence spectrum of things this time around. Sublimation is a seventeen song EP and Cara Neir pay homage to bands such as Iron Lung, Napalm Death, Dropdead, and Graf Orlock on their latest EP. Overall, Cara Neir blaze through these seventeen songs in a little over 22 minutes. Another great release." - elementaryrevolt.blogspot.com

"I rather enjoy how each song is now a quick, ruthless strike at my musical sensibilities. This band’s music is an enjoyable challenge to my taste the way extreme metal used to be, in that, if I was ever taken aback by something it made me reassess whether there was something I wasn’t getting because I just didn’t have the correct frame of reference. On “Drink the Rot” and “It Started in the Silo” you’ll get your fix of bouncy hardcore punk and “Stained Bedsheets”, whether it intends to or not, sounds delightfully like Darkthrone‘s “In The Shadow of the Horns” before developing into a nice gallop." - Shreddernet.com

"In past releases, Cara Neir has always displayed their variety in songwriting, this new EP doesn't do that so much, instead of showing you the wide variety of which the band can maneuver through in a single track, they intend to overwhelm you with as much brutality as they can. This is by far the most grindcore based the band have ever been, with only one song actually going over the three minute mark. With that being said, this is easily among the best grind I've heard all year, which goes back to my second statement of why I really like the band, the songs. Even though several tracks on here don't even cross a minute in length, the riffs actually stick with you.." - dontcountonitreviews.blogspot.com

"Swinging between harsh screams, guttural roars and even the occasional punk-sounding vocal riff, Cara Neir straddles multiple genres whilst sounding defiantly unique. Musically they sway between furious hard-edged grind and blackened crust yet they also throw in a dastardly swagger during ‘Stained Bedsheets’...The short and desperately unsweet track times cling to the subconscious with a dirty grip, hooks will no doubt be lodged in your brain for days on end, ‘You Are Missed’ flying with cruel and caustic pleasure whilst holding onto a cleverly hidden melody." - thisisnotascene.com
