Their next Superstars could be here." - Sludge Lord "Bands like Meshuggah, Opeth, In Flames, Soilwork and now Colossus joining the roster of progressive bands..." - Evolution Rock Pod Cast "The Band name is perfect. Colossus sounds just like a colossus that surge forth in audiowaves. The sound is surprisingly hefty to have been whittled forth by three sole gentlemen." - Joyzine "I imagine this band is incredible live and would spellbind me immediately" - Critical Mass
